PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) - Stephen Colbert, the host of his own Comedy Central show, Emmy winner, faux presidential candidate and best-selling author, added to that esteemed collection an award from Princeton University: "The Great Princeton Class of 2008 Understandable Vanity Award." The award was mounted on a mirror. "I have to say, I've never seen anything more beautiful," Colbert on Monday told the 2,611 Princeton graduates-to-be assembled at Class Day, which is held each year the day before commencement. Senior Class President Tom Haine pointed out that the ceremony was held in front of ivy-covered Nassau Hall in an area...

Funny guys Conan O'Brien and Stephen Colbert have been warring over the airwaves over who first discovered and "made" Mike Huckabee, the once obscure former Arkansas governor, into the popular Republican presidential candidate he is today. Colbert first claimed to have made Huckabee by giving him an appearance on his TV show. O'Brien argued that he made Huckabee by featuring unintentionally funny clips of Huckabee supporter Chuck Norris on his show. Then Jon Stewart got involved, arguing that he made Conan O'Brien — dusting off an old tape in which he interviewed O'Brien on his short-lived talk show from the...

Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the Democratic Caucus chairman, has told new Democratic members of Congress to steer clear of Stephen Colbert, or at least his satirical Comedy Central program, “The Colbert Report.” “He said don’t do it … it’s a risk and it’s probably safer not to do it,” said Rep. Steve Cohen. But the freshman lawmaker from Tennessee taped a segment that last week was featured in the 32nd installment of the “Better Know a District” series. Colbert asked Cohen whether he was a black woman. He isn’t. Eyes (but thankfully, not heads) roll in Emanuel’s office when other...

The Colbert Report by Hugh Hewitt April 24, 2006 11:32 AM PST I'll be part of tonight's entertainment. Yes, I know.

Comedy Central star Stephen Colbert’s nightly conservative/O’Reilly-mocking show "The Colbert Report" invited on MSNBC host Keith Olbermann Tuesday night to double up on the O’Reilly bashing. It started predictably, before the word "Nazi" came out: Colbert: "Why do you have a problem with my hero, papa bear Bill O'Reilly? You guys have been going at it, hammer and tongs." Olbermann: "Well, Stephen, he's an idiot." Colbert: "You say that like it's a bad thing. I think he sees the world simply, okay? Without all your complicated facts." Olbermann: "We're both saying the same thing. He's an idiot." Did Olbermann really...

Colbert and Conan have a difference of opinion. link

Politics, comedy, and men are obsolete. Plus a war on Christmas. Four great reasons to cure the case of the Mondays that I know, I had last night. Plus, Stephen finally said what I've been hoping would come out of his mouth for ages now - I can make a difference simply by watching TV (specifically his show, but lets not split hairs). I've got the world on a string and all I need is a universal remote. I like the sound of that. First up, Stephen lets us know why his neck hurts. Apparently years ago, while still living...

Feb. 26) - Representative James P. Moran, Democrat of Virginia, does not have the kind of record most lawmakers would herald on national television. He has offended Jews with impolitic remarks and made news for scuffling with his wife a day before she filed for divorce. A former boxer, he threatened to slug one House colleague, and has thrown a punch at another. So what in the world possessed him to appear on "The Colbert Report," the late-night Comedy Central show, and allow himself to be goaded into taking a swing at the host, Stephen Colbert? "Because," Mr. Moran explained,...
