So if you’d like to win what Stephen Colbert proclaims, in typical Colbert fashion, “The Greatest Gift of All!” Simply let us know in the comments below what your actual favorite gift of all ever was. And be sure to check your email on December 2, 2008 to see if you’re a winner.

As he often does, Jon Stewart ended off THE DAILY SHOW by checking in with his Comedy Central co-hort Stephen Colbert. Sporting a lengthy strike beard that would put Letterman’s to shame, Colbert remarked, “I’m very alarmed by how prepared you seemed.”

Needless to say, Colbert isn’t the only one.

As much as I was thrilled for the return of my traditional nightcap of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, this TV Addict couldn’t help but notice how ‘normal’ both shows seemed. Sure tweaks to both shows were evident, with Colbert interviewing 2 guests rather than his usual 1 and Stewart taking some not-so-subtle shots at the WGA leadership team for their side deal with LETTERMAN. The worrisome factor kicks in when one realizes that both THE DAILY SHOW and THE COLBERT REPORT still managed, emphasis on without writers, to combine for television’s funniest hour of political commentary.

Whether Stewart and Colbert can keep this up night after night is another issue entirely. Yet one can’t help but ponder the question that should be on everyone’s mind. Is their successful return not another nail in the WGA’s coffin?

Full disclosure time: the TV Addict is a card carrying member of COLBERT NATION. Subsequently, I feel it’s my obligation, nay privilege, to bring my fellow patriots heroes a first look at Stephen Colbert’s guest spot on the upcoming nineteenth season premiere of THE SIMPSONS. Don’t miss it. Sunday September 23 at 8PM on FOX.

Put down your Americone Dream and prepare to be shocked and awed. After years of toiling away on Comedy Central, Stephen Colbert (American Hero) has finally hit the big time!

On September 23 at 8PM — Colbert will join the small group of cultural and entertainment elite who have been forever immortalized on THE SIMPSONS. In the show’s nineteenth season premiere, Colbert will play a life coach who is hired by Homer to help him fulfill his life-long dream of owning a professional football team finding a job that offers the luxury of flying on a corporate jet.

We congratulate Mr. Colbert on his momentous achievement with the hope that this guest stint not only aids in expanding Colbert Nation, but helps to further raise ‘wrist awareness’ in America.

Hello Nation! After weeks of extreme pain, Stephen Colbert’s broken left wrist has healed! His short arm cast was removed live on last night’s episode of THE COLBERT REPORT, and in celebration, Stephen is auctioning off the cast for charity! Click here to check out the auction on eBay and remember, nothing says ‘Happy Holidays TV Adddict’ like a smelly cast worn by Stephen Colbert!

Truth be told, lately I’ve been finding THE COLBERT REPORT far funnier than Jon Stewart’s THE DAILY SHOW. But Thursday night, Stewart proved once again that he’s still at the top of his game thanks to his brilliant commentary on Dick Cheney’s interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. Take a look.
