    I don't know about that book, but Colbert was genuinly funny back then. Not your fault he turned into a cringy lib.

      I was wondering that as I typed my comment. His fake conservative act would still be accurate and funny today right? Just because it’s not explicitly leftist doesn’t mean he had some correct takes. But yeh he’s omega cringe now, let us not forget the “Putin’s cock holster” shit

        I bet his stuff holds up better than the daily show from back then. I do think the daily show back then was funny as well, but it was more explicitly lib, while the Colbert report, as a parody of conservatism, seems like it would be more relevant to you even after you moved on to Lefitsm.

        If I remember correctly, someone did try to do the fake conservative thing following Trevor Noah I think around 2016 and it was just horrible.

            Yep I remember learning about it from some bread tube video and that was basically the point they made but I cannot remember for the life of me what the horrible show was. Like it was the same schtick but I think it was just a massive failure so all my knowledge of it is buried in some memory of this bread tube video and this bothers me.
