It&#8217;s on the same level as <cite>Clerks<\/cite> or <cite>There&#8217;s Something About Mary<\/cite>. I was laughing out loud in the plane. I&#8217;m sure all the passengers watching ESPN or FOX News thought I was nuts. The only other time this happened was when I first saw <cite>Coupling<\/cite> on a Virgin Atlantic flight to London. But Coupling runs four to eight shows a <em>season<\/em>. The Colbert Report does <em>four shows a week<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t seen The Colbert Report yet, by all means check it out. It&#8217;s broadcast at 11:30 P.M. on Comedy Central, and repeated the next day at 1:30 A.M, 10:30 A.M., 2:30 P.M., and 8:30 P.M. It&#8217;s also available on iTunes and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comedycentral.com\/shows\/the_colbert_report\/about_the_show.jhtml\">several video clips<\/a> are on Comedy Central&#8217;s web site. (Windows Media only sadly) and BitTorrent  has <a href=\"http:\/\/ts.searching.com\/search.asp?h=&amp;query=colbert+report&amp;submit.x=0&amp;submit.y=0\">complete episodes<\/a>. If you haven&#8217;t seen it yet, plop yourself down in front of the TV and watch. This is very possibly the single funniest series ever broadcast on American television. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Normally The Colbert Report comes on after my bedtime.
