The Colbert Show

Go Cats! Hooray for NU Alumni!

Excerpted from the NYTimes article...

Mr. Colbert, 40, is best known on "The Daily Show" for his interviews from the road, in which he asks deadpan questions of actual people, some of them newsmakers and others far less well known. He will use that same format on his show, though the interviews will generally be unedited and conducted in a studio setting.

He brings to such endeavors an eclectic background. A graduate of the theater program at Northwestern University, he did improvisational comedy for several years for the famed Second City company in Chicago. But for about a month in the mid-1990's, he was a correspondent for "Good Morning America."
