Classic Colbert provides plenty of chuckles and giggles as he hams it up on this audio book. You got to love the guy!

Sarcasm well done

A great quick "read" with both light and intellectual humor, but nothing too deep. This is great for the ride after work to put your mind at ease and get a few laughs while no having to think too hard. WARNING: If you haven't watched at lease one episode of The Colbert Report or The Daily Show, do so first. This type of comedy is not for everyone. That said, it isn't all 3rd grade humor and offensive for the sake of being offensive. It is NOT South Park humor. :)

Colbert is better than this

I liked Jon Stewart's America (the book) better. This one was not as funny and I couldn't keep my attention in it.

I'm a real fan of Colbert. And, nothing has tickled my funny bone as much as Jon Stewart's book. But this one is a miss. Obvious, predictable humor that doesn't go beyond his nightly show. I still love him, but I was expecting something a bit more creative, a bit more audacious, a bit...funnier.
