I find his arrogant, parody-style character quite amusing. And I love the interviews he does with straight-up politicians. Accepting an apology from a politician when no apology was given = hilarious. The skits he does with that goofy, over the top attitude crack me up. Above all else I like him because he's original. Nobody has a shtick like Colbert. Jon Stewart just reminds me largely of a politically focused late night show such as Leno or Letterman - I don't find it very original.
I think Steven Colbert is one of the best interviewers on TV. Leno is totally lame and should never have gone back to the Tonight Show. ---
a good interviewer..are you kidding seriously? he doesn't even hear his guest he just waits for a pause to launch his stupid reply Stewart LISTENS to his guest..
