This won't come as news to fans of The Colbert Report, but it's actually a brilliant little show. The writing on it is so well-done (which isn't easy to do four days a week), and Colbert really gives an incredible "performance" as this character Stephen Colbert. He's dedicated to it, and every episode is like a gem of writing and performance art.
Last night he talked about a new tobacco product on the market, and at one point he can't even speak. (Video also here.)

I think some of the best moments from the show are when Colbert himself cracks up. Last night's was so funny, I had to rewind it and watch it again.

It's great when he cracks up. The clips on Colbert Nation have a tag for those bits.
It's a shame they lost Alison Silverman recently. She cited the intense pressure of writing and producing the show in interviews. Maybe it finally got to her.
