But, Dave doesn't get Colbert, and he IS "the people he's parodying"! I like Stewart better too, but Colbert has his moments. I really love it when he says something as parody that some wingnut here has been putting forward seriously!

And I think his humor is different from Stewart's......I like them both but to me, Stewart's humor is more mainstream.

Well, in order to get Colbert, you kind of have to have familiarity with the people he'd parodying. If you don't, you might not get the humor.

Yes.....and you have to get his form of self parody too like when he pulls out a mirror from under his desk and looks at himself. Its a different kind of humor than people are used to.
