Not for the easily offended (though I think they wouldn't be interested in this book anyway!) If you're a fan of The Colbert Report and The Daily Show, chances are you will appreciate this book. It's 100% in character, and was so funny I couldn't put it down. This is seperated into many different sections: The Family, Old People, Animals, Religion, Sports, Sex & Dating, Homosexuals, Higher Education, Hollywood, The Media, Class War, Race, Immigrants and Science. It also contains "Fun Zone" activities (ha!) a section called "A Note To the Future" (with instructions on defrosting Colbert's head), and countless funny margin jokes and much more. The end of the book also contains a transcript of Colbert's memorable address at the 2006 White House Correspondant's Dinner, making this a must have for Colbert fans. If you like your politics served with plenty of satire- or vice versa- this is worth the money! I know I'll be re-reading this through the years, and I'm very glad I splurged and picked this up.

I picked this up not expecting to get much from it. He is after all just a television personality! However, I must say he has completely changed my life. I had no idea just how wrong I was about many things in my life!

I would like to thank him personally for doing so much for me and all of my friends. Whom I tell about him. All the time.

As a bonus while reading this book I lost fifteen lbs! No kidding. Amazing book.

Read it now! You'll love it. Just like me.

If you are an ultra conservative, you will hate this book. But, one of the funniest books I have ever read. I really enjoyed it!

I don't watch much tv, so I wasn't too familiar with The Colbert Report before reading this book. After reading this book I realize how little I truly know! Thanks to Mr. Colbert, I now have a better understanding of the world.
Honestly, I think Stephen Colbert is a comic genius and highly intelligent to boot. I am now a fan. Although, I have both the hardcover and the audio book and I have to say, the humor translates a lot better in the audio version. I highly recommend hearing the author's words in his own words.

Ho hum. Colbert is better as a performer than a writer.
