Just wanted to share this quick note I received in my e-mail this morning:
Hello DB & all No Facters,
Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts and comments on my departure. Part
of what made working at The Colbert Report so wonderful was knowing we had such
goodhearted, insightful fans. For the foreseeable future, I will be recharging,
writing on my own, missing the incomparable Stephen Colbert, and checking the
latest on NoFactZone! Thank you again. You all make me very happy.
-Allison Silverman

Allison, you’re hard work, dedication, and hilarity will be very sorely missed by us Zoners. Thank you so much for all the joy and laughter you’ve brought to our lives throughout your years on the show. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors and I’m sure we’ll all be looking forward to enjoying whatever new projects you decide to undertake.
PS–One of my favorite parts of the iTunes “Meet the Author” podcast from a few years ago was your reading of “Your Soulmate” from IIAASCY. When I listen to it, I’ll always remember you. : )

Without your insane talent and perserverance, Allison, who knows if we Zoners and the Colbert Nation would be what we are today. I’m always delighted to hear that you and the staff are as proud of the Nation as we are, and likewise we are exceedingly proud to know of you and your huge contribution to what we are and what we dearly enjoy. Thank you for all you have done and best of luck to you in the future. I hope we hear more from you as time goes by.

In honor of Allison, we should change our names from “Zoners” to “No Facters”. I was never a fan of zoners, it has a bad connotation.

Thank you, Allison, for all the laughs over the past four years. I can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with in the future because I know it’ll be great. Best of luck to you!

Best in your future endeavors.
I remember when Ben left and Stephen was asked why Ben left–and Stephen said something to the effect of, ‘Ben left because Ben needed to leave. He needs to spend time with his wife, etc’
Sorta had the feeling that you’d be leaving, and I’m glad that you get to spend more time with the hubby. I look forward to seeing what you have up your sleeves once you are recharged. I’m sure whatever it is, you’ll be amazing.
As for emmys, I have a feeling you will still be getting one after this Sundays for the Iraq shows. It is a shame that we missed that deadline by such a short time (like 2 weeks or so?)

Count me in as another admirer of your talents and a well wisher. Good luck at the Emmys. No matter what the outcome, let me “pull a Kanye” and declare that you and the TCR crew deserve all the accolades they can bestow!

Tremendous thanks to you, Allison, for all the years of snorts, giggles, chuckles, groans, guffaws, thoughtful nods, and joy joy joy. I’ll be wishing you well in this personal and professional transition, and looking forward to seeing what you dive into next.
But first, go take a nap(I figure you’re due one after four years of insanely long days)!

Very pleased to be of service.
No– I so appreciate all that you’ve done for the show over the years, including back when I only had the faintest idea it existed. Have a great time recharging!

Allison darling,
I will always treasure your dedication on the “Soul Mates” chapter in my copy of IAAASCY!
Please don’t forget about us at Colbert Nation too… :)
Know that you have a special place in our hearts and I hope our paths will cross again!
Thank you for who you are, what you have been doing and what you will be doing (I am sure it will be awesome!)
Love and Peace to you

It is great to know that Allison acknowledges her fans.
Allison (if she’ll ever read this),
I’m a self-professed fan of Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Conan O’Brien. But it was only until I found out about you through this site did I realize that I was actually a fan of your work.
I will be sure to follow and support your future work. You have undoubted influenced an entire generation and I’ll never fully realize how indebted I am to you.

A little late to respond but now I’m reading about your next adventure. So very happy for you! You made that 4 hour wait in line at B&N book signing worth it.. you were so warm and sweet. I know that you will be missed.. your talent will be missed.
