The Colbert Report, the new half-hour Daily Show spin-off on Comedy Central, has received a full-year order, E! Online reports. The satire of cable news talking heads like Bill O'Reilly has averaged 1.2 million viewers across its first four nights, and keeps 86 percent of The Daily Show Viewers. Plus, The Daily Show recently posted its second-most watched week ever in the week The Colbert Report debuted, at least partially thanks to the increased attention garnered from the new show.
