Veterans of the Daily Show will remember Colbert filling in for Jon Stewart a few times way back in the early days of Stewart's tenure. It was before Colbert had the act, and it was pretty raw, unembarrassed stance taking. It was the kind of thing you watched and said, "Why can't the Daily Show be more like this all the time?" Finally, there's an offshoot of that franchise (kind of--using the word loosely) who doesn't have to give a fuck about advertisers.
