STEPHEN COLBERT
stars
in and executive produces the hit late-night series on Comedy Central,
The Colbert Report. Touted
by the New York Times as one
of the best television shows of the year and praised as a must watch
show by Entertainment Weekly, The Colbert Report has already
garnered ratings and critical success as one of the top new entries on
the television landscape. Since
1997, Stephen was the longest-tenured and most diverse correspondent
on The
Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He
helped the show to win numerous Emmy and Peabody Awards as an on-air
personality and show writer for the news satire. He
contributed to AMERICA (THE
BOOK): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction (Warner
Books) which immediately topped The New York Times Bestseller List for
15 consecutive weeks. He
also co-authored the critically acclaimed book Wigfield (Hyperion)
which Publisher's Weekly called uproariously funny, painfully sharp and
unlike anything the genre of humorous fiction has seen before. As a member of Chicago's
famed Second City improv
troupe, he met Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello. The threesome moved to New
York City where
they created and starred in Exit 57, a half-hour sketch comedy series
which ran for three seasons on Comedy Central. Exit 57 received five CableACE nominations
for Best Writing, Performing, and Comedy Series. Colbert reunited with Sedaris and Dinello
to create Comedy Central's first ever live-action narrative series, the
cult hit Strangers with Candy. Colbert
has appeared opposite Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman in BeWitched; as
well as on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Law and Order:
Criminal Intent, and
The Dana Carvey Show. |
