Product Description
Product Description
The highlights of Stephen Colbert's Comedy Central series.
Amazon.com
At a liberal three hours, this Colbertrospective is as definitive as The Best of Chappelle's Show. Here are the signature segments ("Better Know a District"), defining moments (the definition of "truthiness", Merriam-Webster's 2006 Word of the Year), classic confrontations ("Papa Bear" Bill O'Reilly, Jane Fonda, and Emmy-stealer Barry Manilow) and essential features (the "Green Screen Challenge" and "Stephen Colbert's Rock and Awe: Countdown to Guitarmageddon,") If you're a recent immigrant to Colbert Nation, this DVD is your passport for full citizenship. A spin-off of The Daily Show, The Colbert Report (those T's are silent) is a pitch-perfect parody of self-mythologizing TV pundits ("This show is not about me," Colbert, in full gravitas, proclaims in episode 1. "It is dedicated to you, the heroes. Who are the heroes? The people who watch this show"). Colbert is a "straight shooter" who doesn't trust books ("they're all fact and no heart") and he promises to "feel the news at you." But the media-savvy Colbert doesn't just feel the news, he makes news. Included is his jaw-dropping "Better Know a District" interview with Florida Democratic Congressman Robert Wexler, who was running unopposed in the 2006 Midterm election, prompting Colbert to goad him into saying "a few things that would really lose the election for you if you were contested" ("I enjoy the company of prostitutes because it's a fun thing to do"). Soon after, the Democratic leadership told incoming-freshman congressmen to steer clear of the Report. Colbert has abandoned his run for President of the United States following his failure to secure a place on South Carolina's ballot. It's just as well. There is, he states, "a whole big world to fix," and now more than ever we need a leader, who, as venerable 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer observes at one point, is "a sunburst of emotion in a time darkened by reason." --Donald Liebenson

Having followed Stephen since his appearances in Jon Stewart's Daily Show a few years ago, it was with such a great pleasure that I joined the crowds of dedicated fans (some gathered in The Colbert Nation) when He got his very own show.
There's Nothing like it on TV anywhere, indeed !!! From the Threatdown to The Word, the entire show is just Brilliant! Smart, clever, thoughtful and packed with such "Humour Noir" & sarcasm that only one word comes to my mind : Respect !!!
I ordered myself The Best of The Colbert Report well before Christmas. Imagine my surprise and delight when I opened the DVD which had been placed under my tree by Santa. I've only watched half of it because of time constraints but it's as good as I thought it would be. Stephen is
witty, charming, a great interviewer. He knows all just like Papa Bear and his little buddy "W". I'm hoping Jane Fonda is on it. She makes more trouble on his lap than she did on the tank!
Its still great though. We've missed a lot of the Report, so we were able to catch up on the highlights of some of what we had missed, and see again some of our favorite bits.
A good gift, but hardly definitive, collection.
Purchase this book for each member of your family, you will not be sorry. Hopefully you will be able to get in on one of the First Editions...destined no doubt to be a collector's item.
I must now return to my Colbert Shrine.....the flowers are looking a bit wilted, and the spot light needs a small adjustment.
Not only does this DVD make a GREAT GIFT for the holidays to be given to anyone who is not yet familiar with TCR (crash course), but it is a great collectors item for long time fans of the show.
Buy this DVD in conjunction with Stephen's new book, and it's not only a steal but the best set of entertainment you'll find all year!

The level of satirical mastery in the show is undisputed. To have a three hour tip-of-the-iceberg sampling of the material on DVD is great after all these years. All segments included provide stellar, well crafted, daft, thought-provoking and also expertly delivered entertainment. The problem is that it ends.
The downside is that there's a ton of material not on this DVD. There aren't any special features and it is to be noted by fans or those recently discovering the programme that it compiles content from 2005, 2006, and 2007 only.
I would greatly appreciate Comedy Central bringing out another Best Of, in the near future, or even better, releasing the seasons in some other accessible medium for the fans outside the US.
Satire, smarts, truthiness... learn to feel the facts.
Highly recommended.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 7, 2008
Highly recommended.
but the case was a little worse for the wear (the centre of the holder for the DVD was broken),
but a little glue fixed that very quickly.
All in all, I am very happy that I got my hands on this masterpiece ;D
