Over the years of The Colbert Report, politicians have been called out, special guests have been made fools of, and truthiness has been spread – but all good things must come to an end.
After this segment on voter apathy, which included George Takei, Stephen Colbert announced that December 18th would be his final show.
Colbert will be taking over for David Letterman, who will be stepping down from CBS’ the Late Show.
On a personal note, Stephen Colbert, not a founding father or a living president, is the man who got me into politics.
I say that without an ounce of shame because, to me, Colbert helped make politics accessible to young people. He showed us how ridiculous they could be, but also, how important they were.
He is, to me, anyway, a Mark Twain figure – a razor-sharp wit satirizing the absurdity of our political culture.
And for that, Stephen Colbert, you’ve earned a serious tip of the hat from all of us.
We look forward to what he is going to do on the Late Show. –Blue Nation Review
