Stephen Colbert was poised to make television and linguistic history on October 17th, 2005 with the premiere of his own show,
"The Colbert Report." It was on that first episode that Stephen coined the word
"truthiness", which went on to become Merriam-Webster's 2006 Word of the Year.
Almost immediately, Stephen's fan base increased exponentially and demanded to know more about their icon, and thus, rabid fan site
Colbert Nation was born. It wasn't long before Stephen had a
Hungarian bridge named after him and an
ice cream flavor created in his honor.
But that was just the beginning. In 2007,
Stephen Colbert made an historic announcement -- that he was running for
president. That didn't quite pan out, but there's always vice president, which candidate Mike Huckabee has kindly -- and wisely --
offered him.
With the gravitas of Stone Phillips and the spirit of Captain America, nobody feels the news at you like

is the host and executive producer of the Emmy-nominated series on Comedy Central,
"The Colbert Report." Touted by
the New York Times as "one of the best television shows of the year" and praised as "a must-watch show" by Entertainment Weekly, "The Colbert Report" has garnered ratings and critical success as one of the top shows on television.
Stephen's personality, insight and overall rightness led to his half-hour nightly platform which takes on issues of the day, and more importantly, tells you why everyone else's take is just plain wrong. In its first season,
"The Colbert Report" received four
Emmy nominations, including "Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program" and "Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series."
Stephen recently published his first book,
I AM AMERICA (And So Can You!), which debuted at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List. In the book Stephen voices his opinions on all things American as loudly in print as he does on air.
Since 1997, Stephen was the longest-tenured and most diverse correspondent on
"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." He helped the show to win numerous
Emmy and
Peabody Awards as an on-air personality and show writer for the news satire. He contributed to
AMERICA (THE BOOK): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction, which immediately topped The New York Times Best Seller List for 15 consecutive weeks. He also co-authored the critically acclaimed book
Wigfield, which Publisher's Weekly called "uproariously funny, painfully sharp and unlike anything the genre of humorous fiction has seen before."
Born and raised near Charleston, South Carolina, Stephen graduated from Northwestern University and quickly made a name for himself as a member of Chicago's famed Second City improv troupe, where he met Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello. The threesome moved to New York City where they created and starred in "Exit 57," a half-hour sketch comedy series which ran for three seasons on Comedy Central. "Exit 57" received five CableACE nominations for Best Writing, Performing, and Comedy Series.
Colbert reunited with Sedaris and Dinello to create Comedy Central's first ever live-action narrative series, the cult hit "
Strangers with Candy." Colbert's other on-camera appearances include starring opposite Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman in Columbia Pictures
"Bewitched" and memorable guest appearances on shows like HBO's
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" and NBC's "Law and Order: Criminal Intent." He was a cast member and writer on ABC's
"The Dana Carvey Show," wrote for
"Saturday Night Live" and was the voice of Ace on the SNL animated series "The Ambiguously Gay Duo," and he appeared in a long-running commercial campaign for
General Motors/Mr. Goodwrench.
