It’s not often that we here at No Fact Zone are surprised by a grassroots movement involving the fans of Stephen Colbert.

The American Society of Magazine Editors has just announced the finalists in the 2010 Best Cover Contest… and the six nominees in the “Funniest” category happen to include two featuring Stephen Colbert! And starting September 1, amazon.com will be hosting voting for the winners in each of the 12 categories.

The votes are in, and The Colbert Report has won a 2010 Webby Award! Better still, they also won the People’s Voice Webby for the Television website category (go Nation!). Other winners this year include friends of the show OK Go, for Artist of the Year, and the Muppets singing Bohemian Rhapsody (oh go watch…

Greetings, Zoners! I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend. It’s been very quiet out in the world of Colbert news; I don’t know if that’s because of what’s happening with those other late night guys, or if everyone has just decided to be lazy. But I do have a few items to share with you,…
