Published on October 21, 2005

The Colbert Report is funny, smart, and a logical spin-off from Comedy Central's Daily Show, writes Toni Fitzgerald of Media Life. In a quality that may not become fully appreciated until the elections in 2008, the show - which has Stephen Colbert acting as a fictional, pompous news anchor obviously modeled after Fox's Bill O'Reilly and others - it looks as though it could act as a logical point of attraction for America's "increasingly disgruntled left," Fitzgerald writes.
