Stewart & Colbert Mock New Yorker Cover

In the midst of re-creating the controversial New Yorker cover illustration of Barack and Michelle Obama for the cover photo that graces this week's print edition of Entertainment Weekly, Jon Stewart stops briefly to pose a taste question. As he stands by the catering table in ''secret Muslim'' garb, he ponders, ''Would it be weird to be dressed like this and have a bagel, salmon, and a schmear?''

Colbert at White House Correspondent's Dinner 2006

Stephen Colbert's courageous tenacity speaking truth to power at the 2006 White House Correspondents dinner deserves another look. He was mocking McCain as a maverick before the Bush administration had rearranged the deck chairs on the Hindenberg. McClellan and Scalia are there too and some not so subtle jabs at the press core for failing to take on the administration. I am still in awe that he prepared the second half of the act despite having fully expected to be yanked from the podium.

Running for office? Better run from Colbert

Most politicians are as likely to pass up free TV face time before an election as they would be to refuse a campaign check. Then again, there's a price to be paid for looking stupid. That's what members of Congress have learned recently about "Better Know a District," a sarcastic weekly skit that is part of "The Colbert Report," a nightly half-hour on Viacom Inc.'s Comedy Central network.

Excerpt: New York Mag On Stephen Colbert...And Ann Coulter

Colbert's on-air personality, so distinct from Stewart's, leads to a peculiar comedic alchemy on the show. During one taping I attended, Colbert did a bit about eating disorders that ended with his addressing the camera and saying flatly, "Girls, if we can't see your ribs, you're ugly." The audience laughed. I laughed. The line was obviously, purposefully outrageous. But it was weird to think that this no-doubt self-identified progressive-liberal crowd was howling at a line that, if it had been delivered verbatim by Ann Coulter on Today, would have them sputtering with rage.
