| Stephen Colbert's jokes suck. He's just a knock off from John Stewart but is not half as funny. |

My opinion is that they are different humor and compliment each other very well. Colbert's show is like the Roving reporter correspondence's that Stewart has on his show. Stewart plays the straight man and the correspondence's throw constant curveballs at him. I think to be a headline curveball throwing color-man, stay in constant character, not have a straightman to bounce his weirdness off of and still reach his audience. It has to be very difficult.
I enjoy the hell out of watching Colbert ESPECIALLY when he has a hard time keeping a straight face (which is rare). |

I enjoy both shows. If only they were on at an early time. |

I love both shows, but I have to wake up at 6:30 every week day and that is tough when you stay up to 11:00. When they show yesterday's repeats im usually doing homework. |

agreed
to me, it seems like Jon Stewart does liberal leaning parody, while Stephan Colbert has a Conservative leaning... |
