Tolkien fans around the world are preparing for the December 14 release of 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' in many different ways.  Some have gone back to painstakingly watch Peter Jackson's original 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy (even if it takes place afterward), while others continue gluing their own hair to prosthetic feet in preparation for attending the release in costume.  But how is life

While we lament that Steve Carell isn't around anymore to play off of his former 'The Daily Show' correspondent, tonight will mark one of the best 'The Office' castings to date, when 'The Colbert Report' host Stephen Colbert drops by Dunder-Mifflin as Andy's old band-mate Broccoli Rob for the NBC sitcom's Halloween episode 'Here Comes Treble.'  Of course, Colbert will have plenty of tension with f

By now you've heard about Donald Trump's offer to President Obama, right? He offered to donate $5 million to Obama's charity of choice if the President turns over his college transcripts. Well, Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central's 'Colbert Report' has the most hilarious response to Trump's offer. This is the funniest video of all time.

We're finding out a lot about 'The Hobbit' movie this week, thanks to the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter. For instance, did you know Ian McKellen almost turned down the role of Gandalf for the next three Middle Earth-based movies? While all that's interesting to learn, our favorite 'Hobbit' fact actually pertains to a seemingly unrelated actor -- funnyman Stephen Colbert. THR missed this l

Can you say "casting announcement of the year?"  While 'The Office' officially returns tonight for its ninth, and final season (please don't remind us about 'The Farm') it's no secret that the upcoming year is bound to attract new and old guest stars alike, including some big names.  Well, if we don't yet know if Michael Scott will make the trek back to Dunder-Mifflin, how about Steve Ca

Huzzah, America!  After being around seemingly forever, it would seem that ‘The Daily Show’ will be around quite a while longer, with its current and arguably best host to date in place.  More than that, its sister show ‘The Colbert Report’ will be sticking around as well, but for how long?  Does either series have a shelf life, or does Comedy Central plan to keep them around indefinitely?

Stephen Colbert is back! Last week, on February 15th and 16th, fans of ‘The Colbert Report’ were surprised and concerned by an abrupt suspension of new episodes due to a “family emergency.” However, the master of news satire will be picking up where the he left off on Monday night with special guest Parnassus Books owner Ann Patchett.

The political action committee associated with (but not directed by) Stephen Colbert has come out firing in its first ad, accusing frontrunner for the Republican nomination Mitt Romney of actually being a “serial killer.” So much for politics as usual!

This must be the week for late night talk show hosts disguising themselves. First we had Conan outside of ‘Today,’ and now we have Stephen Colbert at Occupy Wall Street. The ‘Colbert Report’ host dressed as revolutionary Che Guevara and went to the protest location earlier this week.

Earlier in the year, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon declared each other best friends for only six months. On ‘The Colbert Report’ last night, they reveled in their affection for each other, but suddenly realized their friendship should have ended almost two weeks ago.

I was watching the “Colbert Report” like I usually do every night. Maybe that’s why getting up so damn early sucks so bad. I guess if you don’t turn off the TV until 11, getting up as early as I do is always gonna suck.
