    John Stewart is such a pro. He’s at the top of his game, even still. He’s just so far above other political commentators it’s beautiful to watch.

    And if Colbert makes an appearance this season I will scream like Flanders at those purple drapes.

      I think Colbert is happy to be done with that character. Besides, it’s been proven that no matter how ridiculous the character gets, people will still vote for it

        It doesn’t need to be permanent.

        I’d almost argue that the Colbert Report is more relevant now because it was a satire of Fox News and right wing news has gotten even more crazy than it was 10+ years ago.

          I’d like to see him come back for an episode and try to play the right-wing pundit satirization, only to keep getting out-crazied by the actual right-wing pundits.

      The most trusted name in news for basically the entirety of my adult life. He’s absolutely amazing. Shame he’ll never run for office.
