Adorable Icelandic siren Bjork appeared on Stephen Colbert last night in anticipation of her 10-date NYC residency. The two discussed a bit about time travel, the interactive iPad component of her recent album Biophilia ("Why sully music with something as ugly as science?"), and her belief in (and respect for) the elves. Somehow despite her hyperspatial-Euclidean fizziness, Colbert didn't once mention the red brillo beehive-like wig elephant in the room. Below, check out the interview as well as an iPad-aided performance of "Cosmogony." more ›

Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart continued their satirical assault on the ridiculous "loopchasms" in the Federal Election Commission laws on super PACs yesterday. The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC released a new attack ad narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, who warns voters to support Herman Cain and not that "East Coast Hollywood Elite who is exploring a run for President of the United States of South Carolina." Jackson has had just about enough of his shenanigans: “I have had it with these money-grubbing superPACs messing with our Monday to Friday elections.” After all, you can't trust a man with a silent "T" in his name. more ›

In case you still had any illusions about super PACs and how they're run, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert continued their satirical assault on the ridiculous "loopchasms" in the Federal Election Commission laws, and thoroughly mocked the hell out of them in segments on both comedians' shows last nights. First, Colbert visited The Daily Show to not-coordinate with Stewart on the latest attack ads from The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC. He stated plainly to no one in particular through a cardboard TV screen: "Nation, I am calling on the Super PAC not to run vicious character assassination ads that impugn and borderline slander any candidate—if in any way those ads can be traced back to me." more ›

Last week Stephen Colbert handed over the reins of his super PAC—Citizens for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow—to Jon Stewart so that he could focus on exploring a possible run for "president of the United States of South Carolina." Election laws don't allow Colbert to coordinate with Stewart on how to spend all that money, so it's up to The Daily Show host to decipher Colbert's intentions from his public statements. And after watching Colbert's statements on "This Week," he deduced that the money would best be spent hiring Mario Batali to cook a delicious meal for him—and then pay double for the chef to "pre-chew" the food and deposit it into Stewart's gaping mouth. Yes, really: more ›

This week, Stephen Colbert handed over the reins of his super PAC—Citizens for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow—to good buddy Jon Stewart so that he could focus on exploring a possible run for "president of the United States of South Carolina.” Almost immediately, The Definitely Not Coordinated With Stephen Colbert Super PAC started buying up air time in South Carolina—and today, they released their first attack ad, which ripped Mitt Romney over his "corporations are people" comment. And the whole thing is narrated by John Lithgow! Watch below. more ›

As was expected, Stephen Colbert announced he was forming “an exploratory committee to lay the groundwork” for his “possible candidacy for president of the United States of South Carolina” on his show last night. And this fake presidential run is bound to be as serious and hilarious as Donald Trump's was! But before he could do so, he had to settle some business with his super PAC, Citizens for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow—and that's where Jon Stewart came in. Watch below. more ›

Native South Carolinian Stephen Colbert—who spent a good amount of time in December trying to acquire the naming rights to the South Carolina primary (“The Colbert Nation Super PAC Presidential Primary")—has been flirting with entering the Republican race for quite awhile. But on his show last night, he took a step closer to sealing the deal after a new South Carolina Republican primary poll found him beating out legitimate candidate Jon Huntsman. “I’m sorry Gov. Huntsman. I guess the Colbert bump reflected off of you and bounced back to me. That happens in the rare instances when my guests are whiter than I am,” he said. more ›

Last night, Stephen Colbert "celebrated" the decampments of Occupy Wall Street encampments across the country, most prominently in Zuccotti Park yesterday. He had particular joy in parsing Mayor Bloomberg's mid-day speech in which he rationalized the removal of protesters—because after all, even George Washington knew that the First Amendment wasn't an absolute right: "The Founders never intended indefinite free speech. They assumed after two weeks any protest would be wiped out by small pox." more ›

And now: The Radiohead Report. more ›

Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced that health insurance companies will no longer be able to charge co-payments, co-insurance, or a deductible for women’s preventive services, including birth control. But on his show last night, Stephen Colbert waded through all the socialist double-speak to get at the heart of why the Affordable Care Act is so very wrong: "A woman's health decisions are a private matter between her priest and her husband." Watch the hilarious segment below: more ›

Stephen Colbert and Jack White showed up at the High Line today to sell copies of Colbert's new single—and they also performed the new song (as well as a harmonized Star-Spangled Banner). Watch below! more ›

Stephen Colbert has been celebrating StePhest Colbchella '011 all week, with musical guests ranging from Bon Iver to Talib Kweli to Florence and the Machine. The biggest highlight of the week was Colbert's multi-part interview with Jack White, which led to Colbert's rock and roll comeback single, "Charlene II (I'm Over You)." And you can pick up the single today directly from Colbert and White at the High Line! more ›

Even though Rep. Anthony Weiner confessed his various sextracurricular activities right before The Daily Show was set to tape, the comedy news program Tweeted, "Yes, we will be "covering" #ShirtlessWeiner tonight on the show! No story breaks too late for 'The Best F***ing News Team on the Planet'!" And Jon Stewart did discuss the story. While he was outraged—"The most upsetting thing about having a friend caught in a scandal of this nature is finding out that he's packing jumbo heat and that's he's ripped. I can't believe that this guy and I are the same f***ing age," adding that when he wakes up, he looks like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, right after capture—but it was actually pretty tame. So Stephen Colbert picked up the slack. more ›

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon are Best Friends For Six Months (BFFSMs), so it's no surprise that they have been showing up on each others shows, having a couple laughs together. After Colbert auctioned off his portrait for Donor's Choose charity for $26,000, he announced that Fallon would be matching that amount with his own donation...without asking Fallon first. So last week, Fallon challenged his audience to donate $26,000, and if they did, Colbert would perform Rebecca Black's ubiquitous "Friday" on his program. Of course, he didn't ask Colbert first either. But last night, Colbert donned his best suit, kicked it in the front seat, kicked it in the back seat, and crooned the song with help from The Roots, Fallon, Taylor Hicks and the Knicks City Dancers. Fun fun fun fun! Check the video out below: more ›
