TV Buzz This was brilliant. Stephen Colbert surprised Jon Stewart at the end of tonight's “Daily Show” to demand back the Super PAC he gave Stewart control over while mulling a fake presidential bid. Stewart's refusal to honor Colbert's request led to an epic foot chase, culminating in… you know what? Just watch.
TV Buzz Old people using inhalants seems to be a thing this week! Here's the conclusion of Stephen Colbert's highly entertaining interview with “Where The Wild Things Are” author Maurice Sendak, during which the curmudgeonly legend reviews Colbert's new children's book, “I Am A Pole (And So Can You),” before teaching him how to illustrate… while high on markers.
TV Buzz Who knew the children’s book author was so hilariously crotchety? Stephen and Maurice talk “Where The Wild Things Are,” why his book featuring a naked boy was banned (hint: all of the penises!), and the true definition of “wild rumpus.”
Politics Buzz “Get your names right, Bill!” Stephen Colbert opened tonight's “Colbert Report” with a segment about the easy to get around “non-coordination” rules applying to Super PACs. Specifically, Colbert hit back at BuzzFeed — and editor-in-chief Ben Smith — for questioning the legality of his coordination with Jon Stewart, who took over the Super PAC Colbert created once he announced his possible run for “President of the United States of South Carolina.” Me-ow!
Politics Buzz Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are making a complete mockery of U.S. election law by stretching the limits of what can be considered “non-coordination” between presidential candidates and the Super PACs that back them. They're also making history.
Politics Buzz This just keeps getting better. Three days after announcing the formation of a presidential exploratory committee following a transfer of control over his Super PAC to Jon Stewart—and mere hours after that same Super PAC released a Mitt Romney attack ad set to air this week in South Carolina—Stephen Colbert fielded questions about it all from George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning during an at-times contentious appearance on ABC's “This Week.” And it was awesome.
Politics Buzz Just like the Iowa caucuses themselves, cable news networks covering the results on Tuesday weren't free of technical difficulties. Stephen Colbert exploited these flubs, from Brett Baier and Megyn Kelly's remedial math failures on Fox News to Erin Burnett's inability to use CNN's new “flicking wall,” on tonight's “Report.”

On The Colbert Report, Stephen decided he wanted “in” on this Occupy Wall Street action. And so he took the limo down to Zuccotti Park dressed as Che Guevera, so he could blend in.
Promoting his new self-titled album, Bon Iver performed on The Colbert Report on Monday night. Sounds like the three-year wait was worth it.
“And for those who say it's implausible for Revere to have ridden a horse, while ringing a bell and firing multiple warning shots from a front-loading musket, all I have to say is: 'Prepare to eat historical reenactment.'”
No one on television can make me enjoy sitting through commercials quite like Stephen Colbert. Watch the master of product placement at his best as he hawks everything from Doritos to Bud Light Lime in the most entertaining ways possible.
A Guy Fawkes mask flashes over Colbert's face while he spoke with Salon's Glenn Greenwald. Spooky. Try and pause it! More on this story here.
If you look carefully, you can spot a small, framed photograph of Hugh Laurie on the set of The Colbert Report. House has reciprocated the gesture with a photo of Colbert that sits on Dr. Gregory House's desk.
TV Buzz Symptoms may include Mika Brzezinski yelling, “when will this b*tch shut the f*ck up for 10 minutes!?” The Colbert Report explains the Sarah Palin reaction, to the media's reaction, to her reaction, to the media's criticism of her rhetoric in the wake of the Tucson shootings. (Did I get that right?)
He looks a lot different when he isn't jumping into a word vortex with an American flag.
TV Buzz We all know that the Law & Order theme drives dogs nuts, but it seems that the intro to The Colbert Report has a similar effect. At least their taste in television shows seems to be improving.
TV Buzz Green Day pulled a Keyboard Cat on The Colbert Report, and it was glorious. Billie Joe Armstrong has made it official: Keyboard Cat is anything but dead (yet).
TV Buzz In probably the most charming interview ever on The Colbert Report, Stephen interviews David Byrne.
TV Buzz Gather ‘round the TV on November 23rd and join Elvis Costello, Feist, Toby Keith, John Legend and Willie Nelson as they celebrate Christmas with Stephen Colbert. Expect a lot of duets — Colbert loves showing off his pipes.
The anchor curses out Brian Williams while bringing all the news that “Mattersons to Patterson. Springs.” His version of the young Bill O’Reilly seems to be part Geraldo, too.
