Trevor Potter and Jon Stewart give new life to the Colbert Super PAC, and Stephen makes a major announcement.

Stephen Colbert's Comedy Central show Thursday night announced “an exploratory committee to lay the groundwork” for his “possible candidacy for president of the United States of South Carolina.”

The control of his super PAC, Citizens for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, is in the hands of fellow faux pundit Jon Stewart, host of “The Daily Show.”

The Colbert group is already buying up television air time in South Carolina, according to ABC, nearly $10,000 worth of time on a broadcast station in the Charleston, S.C. area between Jan. 15 and Jan. 19.

And according to a South Carolina news web site, the Palmetto Public Record, the super PAC is also reportedly “negotiating a substantial media buy in the Columbia market.”
