Slightly off topic but I have I missed the joke with this Colbert guy? Who exactly is he - a comedian or chat show host or something? I'd assumed that he was relatively unknown on my side of the Atlantic but (rather worryingly) several other UK posters to this thread seem to be aware of him!

He's a late night comedian who's VERY politically oriented. He jumps on a few bandwagons and makes the most of it. He has about as straight a face as Rowan Atkinson had on Black Adder. Love him, hate him...everyone has a position. He's on after the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Look him up on Wikipedia.  He's been around for a while, though not in as  polarizing (or as notable) a way until the Daily Show became more politically oriented.  (In case anyone remembers when Craig Kilborn was host.)
