Stephen Colbert Again Confirmed To Be As Cool As You'd Hoped

stephen-colbert.pngI hated having to pick one paragraph to quote from this visitor's story about the Colbert Report writers almost as much as I hate seeing Jon Stewart prematurely stepping out of the spotlight for his protégés. Stephen Colbert is, as everyone already knew, a really cool guy.

He's a great boss, too. When monologues go particularly well, he calls writers to thank them personally. Once, when calling New Zealand "Diet Australia" got a lot of laughs, he gave the author a bottle of wine. Barry was responsible for "The Word" when John Edwards took it over this past Thursday, and the reaction was so good that Colbert said, "What White House correspondents dinner?"
