Will Comedy Central announce an end to the Colbert Report within 6 months of Bush leaving office?

Settled as No

Background: It's a clearly frantic, near-insane job ("I'm tired all the time," he admits) and one can't help but wonder how much longer Colbert — who lives with his wife and three kids in Montclair, N.J. — can keep it up.

When asked this, he puts his head down and is silent for a full 20 seconds. He finally breaks the quiet, "The short answer is, I don't know. The facile answer but maybe the true answer is, as long as it's fun."

Study finds conservative viewers of Stephen Colbert's comedy show think he's on their side

Chicago Tribune 27 weeks ago

Do conservatives not understand that Stephen Colbert is joking? A new academic study suggests Comedy Central's faux-foaming right-winger may be, at minimum, a blank screen onto which people can project their own beliefs. At maximum
