From a report in The New York Times:
Stephen Colbert, who plays a phony correspondent on the fake-news program “The Daily Show,” is getting a real promotion.
Comedy Central said yesterday that it was giving Mr. Colbert his own show: a half-hour that is expected to follow “The Daily Show” on weeknights and will lampoon those cable-news shows that are dominated by the personality and sensibility of a single host. Think, he said, of Bill O’Reilly and Chris Matthews and Sean Hannity.
How will we know the difference between the funny shows and the comedy shows?
