I don't know, I just find him annoying more than anything. But that segment last week with "cooking with feminists" was hillarious. He does do some funny stuff, I personally can only handle doses of him.
I don't know--to me, it's gold. But then I had a friend a few years back who insisted on watching a LOT of The O'Reilly Factor, so I have a pretty good sense of how bang-on Colbert's satire of that guy really is. If anything, Colbert's character is LESS arrogant and over-the-top than the real life Bill O'Reilly, who's working hard on getting his picture placed next to "windbag" in the dictionary.
