Funniest Thing I've Seen in a Long Time

I bought The Best of the Colbert Report on DVD for my boyfreind for Christmas. We watched some of it last night (it contains over 6 hours of footage!) and I don't remember that last time I laughed so hard. Ok, I do, it was a while ago when we rented Superbad. But this collection of best moments from the Colbert Report is fucking hilarious!. I had serious doubts about Colbert's ability to carry his own show when he left The Daily Show, but I have to say, he's even funnier than Jon Stewart. And I love love love the way he makes fun of politicians in the "interviews" he does for Better Know a District. My favorite is the one he did with John Hall, representative from New York's 19th district, who was in the band Orleans. John and Stephen did a duet of one of Orlean's songs. I couldn't find that on Comedy Central's site, but here is a clip where they do a duet of the National Anthem. The one with Eleanor Holmes Norton was a close second, due to her total lack of understanding that Stephen was joking, and how angry she got.

His duet with Barry Manilow had me laughing so hard I cried. Ah, Stephen Colbert...smart, witty, and sarcastic. And he can sing! I think I have a new crush.
