The Daily Show and The Colbert Report offered brief but powerful messages last night to those affected by the bombings at the Boston Marathon Monday.

"Once again having to start under just horrific events," Jon Stewart said in his opening to The Daily Show, in reference to his shows following 9/11 and the school shootings in Newtown, "Here in this country I really hate the fact that I can cross-reference my thoughts to other events that occurred over the years of a similar ilk.

"So I'm not going to, I'm just going to say this to Boston: Thank you for showing once again, in the face of gro...

"Comedy Central's The Colbert Report will present four nights of Hobbit-themed programming , pegged to the Dec. 14 release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," said Entertainment Weekly. "Guests will include stars Ian McKellen , Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis , along with director Peter Jackson ."

Time magazine editors have released the shortlist for its 2012 Person of the Year, and South Korean pop sensation PSY, rap superstar Jay-Z and Russian punk rockers Pussy Riot are among the candidates.

When Stephen Colbert needed some help for his "Stephen Ghoulbert’s Spooky Time Halloween Fun Guide" on The Colbert Report, he turned to Tom Hanks for some helpful tips on inexpensive costumes.

Hanks claimed he wasn't on the show to promote his new film, Cloud Atlas: "I'm here for the kids, with some great inexpensive costumes that will make for a great 'spooktacular' Halloween."

Despite that, the costumes he was presented sure looked familiar to Colbert. A cowboy was up first who said "There's a snake in my boot!" After Colbert claimed that was a line from Toy Story, Hanks said "Is it? Th...

Stephen Colbert has never been shy about being a fan of The Hobbit, and it looks like he may have a part in the new Peter Jackson films. He did an interview with Playboy magazine for the November issue and hinted at an appearance.

"I flew out and watched them shoot some scenes and went to some locations," Colbert told the magazine. "I saw a 25-minute cut, and it was amazing. Jackson knows I'm a big fan of the films."

He was then asked by the interviewer if he might actually be in the films, and he replied with "Could be."

The Hollywood Reporter is saying it has confirmed that Colbert is ...

Television host Stephen Colbert agreed to turn his TV studio and green room into a meat-free zone on Tuesday after landing a rare chat with vegetarian Morrissey.

The British rocker insists all venues he visits on tour are veggie-friendly and Colbert chose to honor the Meat is Murder star's stance when he agreed to be a guest on his nightly show.

However, the comedian still teased Morrissey about his "militant" vegetarianism, joking, "If I'm a little woozy right now it's because I haven't had my bacon."

Explaining his serious anti-meat stance, the former The Smiths frontman said, "Anim...

Stephen Colbert has opened up about the death of his dad and brothers in a plane crash, admitting it took him almost a decade to come to terms with the tragedy.

The comedian was just 10 years old when his father James and older siblings Paul, 18, and Peter, 15, were killed in 1974 after their jet attempted to land in North Carolina.

In a candid interview with talk show host Oprah Winfrey, he reveals the loss became a part of his identity, and he didn't even begin to grieve until he was 18 years old and left home for college.

He says, "For years, I sort of thought that that was my secre...

Wikipedia is the encyclopedia of the new generation. But when you mix wikipedia, a presidential nominee and Stephen Colbert, hilarity can ensue.

It is the age of Wikipedia, and for comedians, this election will be one to remember. Until someone else changes it with the click of a mouse. Tuesday night on the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert suggested that his audience choose Mitt Romney’s vice-presidential candidate.

Fox News said that because Sarah Palin’s Wikipedia page was edited 68 times the day before John McCain announced her as his running mate in 2008, we may be able to guess Romney...

The Colbert Report host commonly makes up words, but some researchers have turned his technique into a whole language. Stephen Colbert has been known to make up a word or two. Often this is to make fun of someone, but it seems that more than most, his words actually make it into the English language.

Colbert coined the term “truthiness” during his debut episode of The Colbert Report in 2005, and according to Dictionary.com, the word has been defined as “The quality of seeming to be true according to one's intuition, opinion or perception without regard to logic, factual evidence, or the li...

Considering how much time Stephen Colbert spends trying to protect democracy from the sinister forces of democracy, you wouldn't think he'd have time to do much else.

Luckily, the self-proclaimed defender of liberty is also good at multi-tasking, which is how The Hollywood Reporter is able to report today that the star of "The Colbert Report" has just signed on to provide one of the voices in the upcoming animated feature "Mr. Peabody & Sherman."

The WABAC Machine, in the hands of Colbert? America really is in trouble good hands now.

A quick refresher on "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" for those...

Last week, many TV viewers were confused when they tuned to Comedy Central to watch a new episode of the Colbert Report - only to be shown a repeat. It's the first time since 2005 that Stephen Colbert has taken an unannounced leave of absence. Last night, in his return, he responded to rumors of why he was off the air.

"Some people said that my show was canceled by the Federal Communications Commission at the request of the Federal Election Commission because I was about to announce my presidential candidacy," Colbert mused. "Not gonna happen."

Stephen Colbert was mysteriously missing from the taping of The Colbert Report on Feb. 15. Find out the reason behind the sudden cancellation.

Fans with tickets to the Feb. 15 taping of The Colbert Report were disappointed when they were turned away at the doors. The host, Stephen Colbert, was supposed to resume live shows on Wednesday after a week of vacation, but those plans were canceled.

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, the show will air repeat episodes on Wednesday, Feb. 15 and Thursday, Feb. 16," Comedy Central spokesman Steve Albani wrote in emailed statement.

After teasing a big announcement Wednesday night, Stephen Colbert used his time on the Colbert Report to close a loophole that would have kept him from running for President.

Current rules dictate that a candidate cannot also be the head of a Political Action Committee, nor can he or she tell the committee how to spend its money. Thanks to Citizens United, PACs can take infinite amounts of donations from corporations because they are now considered "people "in the eyes of American law, so having a PAC supporting you means big cash as a candidate.

So, Colbert simply tra...

Stephen Colbert could be running for the GOP presidential nomination in South Carolina - and he actually has a shot to do better than some of the "real" contenders.

Last night on The Colbert Report, Stephen announced that he was polling 5% in his home state according to a Public Policy Polling survey - above candidate John Huntsman's 4%.

To celebrate, Colbert is promising a "big announcement" on his show tonight, an obvious tease to a possible candidacy. This was after the audience cheered when he asked them "Should I run for President in South Carolina?"

Stephen Colbert has made South Carolina an offer they can't refuse -- except they did, but he's not taking no for an answer.

Stephen Colbert's political shtick is meant to be taken with a grain of salt -- but one state says he is taking it too far.

Colbert offered to help close the funding gap for the South Carolina GOP primary -- the first GOP presidential primary to be held in the south -- by donating $400,000 to the cause. The catch? He wants the ballot renamed "The Colbert Super PAC South Carolina Republican Primary."

So is it happening? Colbert says the South Carolina GOP accepted h...

Millions of Americans along the east coast of the U.S. were affected last week as Hurricane Irene tore through their towns and cities, wreaking havoc with high winds & flooding and ultimately cutting off power to nearly six million people for several days.

While many were set apart from the outside world with no telephones, cell phones or internet service, people had to find a way to pass the time without their everyday amenities. And if it happened again most say they'd want daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to be there with them.

Ellen was tops in a recent poll by GE Generator Syst...

Following in the footsteps of fellow Saturday morning stalwarts Scooby Doo, Speed Racer, Yogi Bear, Inspector Gadget and many more, the Smurfs at long last make their big screen debut (only a decade or two after most would really care), begging the question: What other classic cartoons could possibly be left for a live action / CGI movie adaptation? Well, lots, actually, but we’re only listing the top ten (along with some cast and director suggestions).

The Federal Election Commission has approved comedian Stephen Colbert's application to set up a Super PAC, according to USA Today.

The host of The Colbert Report vyed to start the Political Action Committee to put a spotlight on new campaign finance laws. Due to a "media exemption," Colbert can now talk about his own committee on his show, as well as accept large donations from corporations and the wealthy to spend on his own agendas.

The idea began due to various FOX News correspondents, including Karl Rove and Sarah Palin, mentioning PACs they were working with while appearing on news p...

Funnyman and TV presenter Stephen Colbert is set to return to the savage seas off the coast of Bermuda for another shot at the 777-mile Charleston Race.

The comic was a member of a sailing crew in 2005's trek around the infamous Bermuda Triangle, and he admits it was a life-altering experience.

And now he's hitting the high seas again in May.

He tells Outside magazine, "Though I grew up in a sailing community...I am not a sailor. I wasn't allowed to sail because I'm not waterproof. I have no eardrum in my right ear. As a child, I imagined that if the boat capsized, my skull would fill wi...

Comedy Central hasn't released any details yet on this weekend's event in Washington D.C.

Stephen Colbert was called to testify at a Capital Hill hearing on migrant farm workers today for a congressional legislation session. Colbert had taken part in a project entitled Take Our Jobs, a United Farm Workers (UFW) initiative that offered agricultural jobs to Americans. The UFW has reported that millions have visited their website for the program, but only 16 people have taken jobs in the industry. The program was created to display how Americans do not want the jobs migrant workers are performing.

Stephen Colbert worked one day under the program for his television show, The Colber...

Gold and beige were hot colors at last night's Grammy Awards.

Fergie stood out in her electric blue and gold dress, which had a hint of Egyptian flare. Taylor Swift was one of our top picks of the night in a blue sparkly floor-length Kaufman F...
