‘The Hollywood Reporter’ Names Stephen Colbert One of the ‘Most Powerful People in Media’

Stephen Colbert Most Powerful Media Personality

Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart have been named amongst the ‘Most Powerful People in the Media’ by ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, featured in the April 26th issue.

More recently, Colbert, 48, married with three kids and living in Montclair, N.J., announced a legit political endeavor: He would help his sister Elizabeth Colbert Busch, who’s running for a House seat in their home state, South Carolina, by hosting fundraisers in Washington, D.C., and New York. Such off-hour antics have been a boon for The Colbert Report, which for the first time since its October 2005 debut is beating Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show in the key 18-to-49 demo while scoring an average nightly audience of nearly 2 million viewers.

With a cache of critical kudos (28 Emmy noms and two wins) and the least predictable guest lineup (Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales, pig-farmer geneticist Carl Blake, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor), Colbert is the meta-quirk king of New York’s late-night universe.

#2 Stephen Colbert

Colbert is so well known for his political humor that his chops as a pure comedian are often overlooked. But he’s one of comedy’s quickest wits, not to mention an old fashioned physical comedian – a world-class mugger and slapstick artist, donning ridiculous outfits and wolfing down dubious foodstuffs on Colbert Report sketches. As for politics: He sets himself apart not just as a satirist, but as an activist, breaking the fourth wall with ingenious conceptual art stunts – testifying before congress about his brief tenure as a migrant worker, founding his own Super PAC to expose post-Citizens United money-swamped political campaigns, and in his most celebrated coup de theatre, spit-roasting President Bush, and the complacent press corps, in his appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2006.

Should Stephen Colbert Be Put on the Shelf?

Stephen Colbert I Am A Pole Exhibition at The Rosenbach Museum & Library

The Rosenbach Museum and Library which ‘seeks to inspire curiosity, inquiry, and creativity by engaging its broad audience(s) in exhibitions, programs, and research based on its remarkable and expanding collections’, is currently asking the Rosenbach Community to donate gifts to help support upcoming exhibitions and programs. Each donor who donates more than $10 may pick their favourite item in the Rosenbach Collection, and a representation of that item will be placed on a “shelf” in the Museums lobby.

Currently, the shelf is home to items from James Joyce, Maurice Sendak, and more. But so far, there are no items representing Stephen Colbert or ‘I Am A Pole (And So Can You!)’.
