Since they don't have "seasons", per se, Daily Show and Colbert take about 8 separte weeks off a year. Think of it like year-round schools - instead of one long break a year, they take a few shorter ones.

THEN: I happen to catch for the first time O'Reilly on Fox. Nows its crystal clear that this is satire. Now that I get the joke, its really quite brilliant.
I'm insulated from the butt of the joke, living in Norway. I don't get the opportunity to see FOX all that often and had never watched a full Hannity or OReilley show.
I still prefer the Daily Show, for now anyway. Though I do miss This Week in God.

(Of course, watching "The O'Reilly Factor" even once can be a rather painful ordeal... but it is worth it for the comedy gold that is Colbert.)

Stephen Colbert said in his recent Rolling Stone interview that he got to meet Bill O'Reilly and O'Reilly told him that he watches the Colbert Report regularly and closely and loves it.

Didn't like the 'Shred-off'. If he could really play, that would be fine, but the cop-out having the other guy show up was just lame. He should admitted the Decemberists won the challenge other than that 2 second showing of their CD. I guess it worked out for the Decemberists though since the have gotten so much publicity out of this. I never heard of them before this.

Morley Safer and Kissinger both made me laugh.
BTW, I've been playing guitar for almost 20 yaers now, and the Decemberists guitarist, though better than I thouhgt he'd be given his band's type of music, was a total hack.
