I did think the show got off to a somewhat shakey start, but I think it’s stabilized and found its groove. I don’t mind as much anymore that I have to watch an hour of television before bed four nights a week, i.e. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, despite that precious 11-midnight block, which has been in the past some of the most productive hours of my day. Yes I could get TiVo or DVR, but that just seems like temporal anarchy to me. Plus, wouldn’t watching the show a day later, even if it’s just the next morning, feel like watching yesterday’s news?

Yes, I think The Colbert Report is getting better and better. Because of that fact, I will just deal.

A great, out-of-character interview with Stephen Colbert in the A.V. Club last week here.
