The Colbert Report = Genius

Last night, Comedy Central premiered The Colbert Report (both t's are silent; heh), the much-anticipated spin-off of The Daily Show. It's a gleefully unhinged work of satirical genius, and a perfect showcase for the relentlessly and diabolically funny Stephen Colbert. (Basically, as their website states, "what The Daily Show is to evening news, The Colbert Report is to personality-driven pundit shows.")

If you missed (or neglected to TiVo) last night's tour-de-force premiere with guest Stone Phillips, it repeats tonight in primetime at 8:30 (7:30 CST), and you can also view promo clips online. Plus, while the show premieres new episodes every weeknight at 11:30pm (10:30pm CST), it repeats four times a day for your convenience (1:30/12:30am CST; 10:30/9:30am CST; 2:30/1:30pm CST; 8:30/7:30pm). FYI, tonight's guest is Lesley Stahl, followed by Fareed Zakaria (Wed.) and Jim Cramer (Thu.).
