How did you get into being a fan of Stephen or the ‘Colbert Report’?
I watched the Daily Show during Kilborn days then after Jon began hosting I only watched it here and there. Then I remember being up late one night and catching the Colbert Report . I remember the exact moment I was hooked. It was the first time I saw Stephen introduce his guest then he proceeded to run to the audience for high fives and adulation and bowing back to the table. I thought, “Who is this guy?” I was immediately attracted to his character’s foolish egocentricity.
Since then I discovered SWC, and Wigfield.

Have you been to a taping? Yes, my sweet husband indulged my Stephen crush in September of 2008 when we went to a taping together. Audience seating ticket #1 and #2! I remember half the set was closed off because they were still filming the Colbert Christmas special. There were a lot of Christmas decorations in the security area where we waited before going into the studio too. I got to touch the desk.

What’s your favorite sketch/song from Stephen or the ‘Colbert Report’?
The shows from Iraq were really great. I would have to say BKAD segments, Bears and Balls really make me laugh out loud. Also, anytime Stephen induces his fake gag reflex. Oh, and when he raises his eyebrow and looks right into to the camera.

What is your favorite ‘Klassic Kolbert’ moment (from the ‘Daily Show’, Wigfield, ‘Strangers With Candy’, etc.)? For SWC I would have to say “Dear Jerri”, and “Yes, You “Can’t”—hilarious to see Noblet deal with his dreams about being in a rock band.

I’m always interested in all things Stephen thanks to this site and Colbert University!

How did you get into being a fan of Stephen or the ‘Colbert Report’? This is gonna be embarrassing, but anyway: I used to be a huge fan of the X-Files, so I watched “Playing by Heart” for Gillian Anderson. However, I kind of fell for Jon Stewart and found out he has this sweet little TV show (he’s not that famous over here). Then there was Stephen and the rest is history.

Have you been to a taping? No. Actually, I haven’t even been to the US.

What’s your favorite sketch/song from Stephen or the ‘Colbert Report’?
Tosses and character breaks pretty much make my life. Also, I love it when he tries to speak in a foreign language or with an accent, because frankly, he’s just really, really bad at it. Then there’s Cheating Death and the Spor Repor, and I love interviews in which he shows his geeky side.

What is your favorite ‘Klassic Kolbert’ moment (from the ‘Daily Show’, Wigfield, ‘Strangers With Candy’, etc.)? If I had to choose one moment it would probably be the Prince Charles Scandal.

I’m glad you’re here. Welcome!

I’m in LA now, but grew up in D.C. area. Miss it during the fall!

How did you get into being a fan of Stephen or the ‘Colbert Report’? I watched Exit 57 back when I was in college, then was super into SWC when it was originally on (still love it, of course). Watched TDS back when it was still Kilbourne, which is when I really started to appreciate Mr. Colbert since I saw how versatile he is as a performer.

Have you been to a taping? Alas, no. I’m on the wrong coast!!

What’s your favorite sketch/song from Stephen or the ‘Colbert Report’? Anytime when Stephen geeks out (since I’m a geek)… The first one that springs to mind is the “transitive property” thing from the Conan/Jon/Stephen fight.

What is your favorite ‘Klassic Kolbert’ moment (from the ‘Daily Show’, Wigfield, ‘Strangers With Candy’, etc.)? Gah, too many to name! I love the Louis Pasteur/naughty cow scene in “Invisible Love”. Another one is SC as Thea in Wigfield – I’ve only listened to the Audiobook (like 100 times, haha) so I don’t know what any of the pictures look like, but when Thea is talking about witchcraft and wiccans it cracks me up so hard.

It’s fun to read everyone’s stories! Great idea, DB! :)

Well, that’s it – thanks for all your hard work on the site!

I’d been watching the Daily Show for quite a while, and was talking to people about it on a Green Day forum, they said, if I loved the Daily Show, then I have to watch TCR. I watched one episode and haven’t stopped since. Think that was about 2 and half years ago? But I have caught up on all the old episodes of TCR and TDS, so I feel like I’ve been watching both from the start!

I have yet to go to a taping, due to being in….England, but I’m determined to get to New York City at some point after I graduate, I would love to live there for a year and just go to as many tapings as possible. It would be a dream come true! I LOVE reading taping reports, so don’t ever stop writing them!

Favourite segments are BKAD and The Threat down, they always seem to get the biggest laughs from me. Although to be honest, I love them all. “Who’s been f****ng the Coral Reef?” still sticks as one of my favourite lines. I love it when guests get out of control, or surprise Stephen (Jane Fonda, Richard Branson). The interview with John Mellencamp always sticks in my mind, I cried with laughter when Stephen pushed over the table! I have so many favourite moments, I could write an essay about them. Basically when it comes to Stephen singing – I love it all, no question. Also, I love it when The Word is just so clever, so well written, delivered, that it blows your mind.

Ah wow, I could write about TCR forever!

Favourite Klassic Kolbert = EVEN STEVPHEN!!

Little extra bit – I wish the comedy central store delivered to the UK, because I am still desperate for a Wrist Strong bracelet and a mini on notice board!

Any other UK people out there? Really need to join forces and badger More4 into getting TCR.
