Stephen Colbert
On his television show "The Colbert Report," which aired on Comedy Central from 2005 to 2014, Colbert played the nation's fool. By good-naturedly mocking the mainstream media, politicians, and others, he made pointed commentary on how those in power attempt to both manipulate and win the trust of the American public. In 2015, Colbert began hosting his own late night show, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," where he interviews guests and continues to cover important political and cultural events. His accolades have been serious and prestigious: Colbert has been named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People twice. He has also received Emmy awards, Peabody awards, and an honorary doctorate degree from Knox College. Special attention is paid to explaining the philosophy behind Colbert's comedic personas, reasons for his popularity, and examples of his cultural influence.
