The 2016 political conventions will be remembered by Stephen Colbert fans as the time he emerged, if briefly, from his Celebrity-Suck-Up-Interviewing-At-CBS period, and got back to doing that which he does best: thumbing his nose at authority. Among the moments that have delighted Colbert fans and the media during RNC…

UPDATE with video: Late Show Stephen Colbert brought back his sorely missed Colbert Report character to kick off Late Show‘s first live show of the RNC. “Hello nation. Did you miss me? I know I did!

Stephen Colbert  and Comedy Central last night began winding down The Colbert Report in a big way.

Colbert raised $312,470 for two charities, raffling off…

In a callback to the launch of The Colbert Report nine years ago, Stephen Colbert kicked off the final week of the late-night show with a Formidable Opponent debate with himself — and on the same subject as the two Colbert’s had debated during the show’s opening week: U.S. torture of detainees. “Folks these are…

Days before Stephen Colbert wraps The Colbert Report, heading off to replace David Letterman on CBS’ The Late Show, Comedy Central unveiled its first promo video (watch above) for Colbert’s replacement.

Stephen Colbert and James Corden had their first made-for-TV date, on The Colbert Report.
