‘Colbert Report’ to Get Best-Of DVD
Associated Press 07.29.07, 6:07 PM ET

NEW YORK – Stephen Colbert’s legacy has been preserved in self-portraits, a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor and an Ontario Hockey League mascot named Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle. Now, the satirist is getting a DVD.

Highlights from the first two years of “The Colbert Report” will be compiled for a single-disc DVD to be released Nov. 6, Comedy Central told The Associated Press. An official announcement of the DVD will be made Monday.

“The Best of ‘The Colbert Report’” will include sketches from segments such as “The Word,” “Better Know a District,” “Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger” and “Threat Down.” Celebrity interviews will also be featured.

“The Colbert Report,” a spin-off of “The Daily Show,” first aired in Oct. 2005. It was recently nominated for four Emmy Awards, including variety, music or comedy series, and individual performance in a variety or music program.

WHOO HOO!!

    YESYESYESYESYES!!!

    Was it the Colbert staff who got to choose which episodes were the best, or was it CC?

    (Plus, I’m REALLY hoping there will be special features, like bloopers!)

    Yay!

    But the first two years of the Report compressed down into Best-Ofs on one disc? Surely that’s not possible. It needs at least 3 discs.
