Stephen Colbert’s Colbert Report alter ego “Stephen Colbert” has been offering his take on the Republican and Democratic National Conventions for the past two weeks, and apparently that’s not sitting well with some people.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce that, thanks to corporate lawyers, the character of Stephen Colbert, host of The Colbert Report, will never be seen again,” Colbert told his audience on Wednesday, to loud boos.
The new Stephen Colbert appeared via satellite, wearing an American flag print T-shirt at the Democratic National Convention.
Colbert introduced viewers to the identical twin cousin of the Colbert Report host, who is also named Stephen Colbert, but is a “totally different guy.”
