    View quote in context »
    Stretching partisanship past the point of ridiculousness is a major part of The Colbert Report's appeal -- hence Colbert queries such as "George W. Bush: great president or greatest president?" But to Colbert the character, politics is almost beside the point, because no issue could possibly matter as much as he does. Full Article at Columbus Dispatch
    George W. Bush: great president or greatest president?

All quotes from:
What's not named after Colbert now?
  1. People don't go, 'Oh, not funny; so I'm not gonna support it,' ... They support it because Stephen said, 'Do it.' I think there's a very interesting respect that the fans have when Stephen asks for real things as opposed to funny things.

  2. What makes the show entertaining is that Stephen has essentially made it interactive, where it's not just us sitting and watching the show

  3. And why not? He has a popular following, obviously.

  4. Because Stephen's a character on TV, versus Jon (Stewart) playing himself, it allows him to create all these layers of who he is ... Stephen has created in a sense a lot of games for his fans to play.

  5. It's taking the absurdity of the host-viewer relationship to its illogical level, just as the show itself does in all other facets

  6. I guess there is one episode (of his show) where he was talking about wanting things named after him

  7. You don't hear about Daily Show fans going off and naming things after Jon Stewart. Stephen will say, 'I want this named after me -- go, Nation!' And, inevitably, the fans will pick that up. It's interactivity that makes the fans so passionate.
