For those at the Jon Stewart show a couple weeks back, it should be no surprise that Comedy Central and its brand of political satire is extremely popular and influential.
The NY Times covered the Daily Shows' spin-off show, "The Colbert Report," comparing this best of breed humor with the stale, lackadaisical humor of SNL.
" Mr. Colbert's on-camera persona may not wear well over the long term, but for now at least "The Colbert Report" is a worthy spin off, an icy-cold beer chaser to the shot of whiskey that is "The Daily Show." "
And besides, anyone poking fun at FNC is okay in my book.
