The whole DVD is extremely straightforward. I mean, really straightforward. It is the Best of The Colbert Report and only the best of the Colbert Report. No special features, no commentary. As soon as the one DVD is popped in, after some Comedy Central ads, a list of clips comes up, and that's it. Even the Daily Show Indecision 2004 DVD had a wonderfully weird intro with Stephen Colbert and some fun, albeit slightly frustrating, interactive menus. I think this DVD could have benefited from some extra pizazz, perhaps in the form of a little Colbert-licious pretentiousness. I should be so blinded by patriotism and bears that I have to struggle to navigate. Or something like that.Posts with tag the word

Best of Colbert Report DVD coming in November
I've been waiting for a "Best Of" DVD set for The Daily Show for a while now. Sure, they released that Indecision 2004 set a few years ago, and that was fine, but the best stuff on the show is seen on the everyday episodes and not just the special political coverage. I'm sure there's one coming down the road at some point.
In the meantime, we have a Best of The Colbert Report DVD coming in November. All the great bits will be on the disc, including several The Word segments (including the first one, "truthiness"), "Better Know A District," "Cooking with Feminists," "Meta-Free-Phor-All," and the "Green Screen Challenge." It will also include Bill O'Reilly's appearance on the show.
Colbert also has a new book coming in October, I Am America (And So Can You!).
