Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart - © Lee Roth / RothStock / PR PhotosStephen Colbert works in character skewering politics and the media, and makes appearances at museums like the Smithsonian, inspires novelty ice-cream flavors (Ben & Jerry's Americone Dream) and even inserts himself into Canadian junior league hockey. Described as an satirical action hero, the comic and actor balances absurdism with reality, but never fully commits to the latter. He even pulled off a decent bid for consideration to be included in the South Carolina primary as both a Dem and a GOP candidate."The Report" has passed a milestone and aired its 400th episode. Colbert will also be accepting a real Peabody Award for his Comedy Central show on June 16. Colbert also mentions on the "Report" he will serve as "kingmaker" in this year's election. The "Colbert Bump" is a real phenomenon, and pundits and pols may chuckle - but they watch him like a hawk. Tune in to The Colbert Report tonight at 8:30 P pt/11:30 et p.m. on Comedy Central for a never-before-seen performance of “Hollow Man” by R.E.M.You will also be able to view an exclusive performance of “Supernatural Superserious” from last week.
