    Wow. I just finished watching this. Colbert said what he had to say, that's for sure. I have the feeling this will end up in the D&D Forum, but it's hard to start it there because technically it's comedy. Harsh or funny? I remember Conan O'brien's roast of Clinton being hilarious. The crowd ain't laughin' in this one.

    I'll let you make up your mind:

    The guy pronounces report wrong at the very beginning, but that's my only problem with it.

    Eh, Bush and Bush II were funnier.

    Colbert was all right, but his humor isn't really the "stand up" type. More like the "hope his target isn't in the room" type. Unfortunately, all his targets WERE in the room. Especially the media types, who don't take kindly to criticism, even of the humorous kind.

    That's how he pronounces the name of this show, The Colbert Report. The "t" is silent in both words.

    His pronunciation of "report" is supposed to be a play on his "french-sounding" last name.
