Colber(t) plays a completely vacuous ultra-right-wing nutcase, supposedly making arguments for right-wing causes but utterly destroying them instead. He's good enough that many conseratives actually believe he's one of them.
He's also the inventor of several new words including "truthiness", and easily the bravest comedian to ever walk the earth. Take a look at his "Speech at the White House Correspondent's Dinner (2006)". Many suspect he needed a Secret Service escort to get out of their alive. (

It's a good mate with the best news program on the air -- The Daily Report With Jon Stewart, and the best sports program "Sportsdome."
