High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Reverend / Sir / Dr. / Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A., brain-child of Google, is the persona of political satirist Stephen Colbert, as portrayed on Comedy Central`s The Colbert Report. Described as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed high-status idiot", the character is a self-obsessed right-wing commentator. He incorporates aspects of the real Colbert`s life and interests and is modelled primarily as a parody of cable news pundits, particularly Bill O`Reilly.
