'' () is an . It stars comedian Stephen Colbert , a former Correspondent for '' The Daily Show ''.
''The Colbert Report'' is a Spin-off and Counterpart of ''The Daily Show'' which, like ''The Daily Show'', critiques politics and the media. It Satirizes personality-driven Political Pundit programs, particularly Fox News ' '' The O'Reilly Factor ''.12 The show focuses on Stephen Colbert , a semi-fictional anchorman character, played by Colbert. The character, a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high- Status Idiot ", is a caricature of televised Political Pundits .34
Several recurring themes shape the show. " Truthiness ", the quality by which one purports to know something emotionally or instinctively, without regard to evidence or intellectual examination, is a central theme. The term is used to satirize rhetoric in contemporary socio-political discourse which appeals to emotions and ignores facts. The show also mimics ''The O'Reilly Factor'' both in its format and in references within the program. Greenscreen challenges are also a recurring theme.
''The Colbert Report'' has received award nominations from several organizations; it was nominated for four Emmy s in both 2006 and 2007, two Television Critics Association Awards, two Satellite Awards , and was given a Special Recognition award at the 2007 GLAAD Media Awards . It has been presented as non-satirical journalism in several instances, by the Tom DeLay Legal Defense Trust, and following Robert Wexler 's interview on the program. ''The Report'' received considerable media coverage and following its debut on October 17 , 2005 , for Colbert's coining of the term "truthiness", which Dictionary Publisher Merriam-Webster named its 2006 "Word of the Year."
