Boy do I miss Colbert's writing team

I was not a regular viewer of the show since I don’t watch TV.  In fact, everything I’ve ever seen of Colbert Report or the Daily Show has been on the blogosphere.  Still, I’ve never seen a clip of Colbert that truly bored me.  Maybe it was the weak laughter from his studio audience.  They’re usually roaring.  Can’t wait until the strike is over. - TheEnd
