NPR interviews Stephen Colbert about his Colbert Report. Some background on the man:
Colbert began his comedy career with Second City in Chicago. He helped create the HBO sketch comedy series Exit 57 — which won five Cable ACE awards in 1995 — and he also wrote and performed sketches on The Dana Carvey Show. Colbert is also the voice of Ace on the Saturday Night Live animated skits Ace & Gary: The Ambiguously Gay Duo.
But you already knew all that, because you get it; you’re one of the heroes who watch the show.
