Stephen Colbert Syndrome 

The process of transitioning from a satiric depiction of a thing to the very thing you once parodied. Named after Stephen Colbert, who originally played the character right wing ideologue named "Stephen Colbert", who told yo what to think. Over time, he has become the Blue State equivalent of his earlier "Stephen Colbert" character. He has come full circle.

You know how originally she mocked bad weepy singer-songwriters? Now she takes herself seriously and has misses her own joke. Stephen Colbert Syndrome!

Stephen Colbert 

Stephen T. Colbert, more widely known as Stephen Colbear (The T's are silent, and they stand for truth!) He is the O'Reilly-esque host of the Colbert Report, Comedy Central's response to media pundits, mostly Bill O'Reilly because he is easy to satirize.

Stephen Colbert: You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! But I've got oven mits. This is the Colbert Report.

Stephen Colbert 

The most geniunely courageous and intelligent All-American HERO.
A former correspondant of Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show", he was so great that he was given a spin-off show that ended up being just about as successful. Called "The Colbert Report", the show centres around an illogical right-wing egomaniac who attempts to deliver the news with a splash of truthiness.

Colbert was the entertainer for the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. There, only a few feet away from the President George W. Bush himself, Colbert gave a comedy routine reminiscent of his familiar fake news program. The hilarious speech was actually a thinly veiled attack on Bush's administration, and though faced with an expectedly unreceptive audience, Colbert charmed and awed his supporters at home.
His great bravery was exemplified that day, broadcast nationwide on C-SPAN, though barely mentioned by the media the next morn - because of the fact that Colbert had criticised them in his speech.

Colbert is seen as a true hero for his courage, a great comedian for his wit, and a genius for his biting logic.

Charlene: I love Stephen Colbert.
Jane: He's gorgeous.
Liesel: Not just that. He's the greatest American hero alive.
Charlene: That's why I love him.

Stephen Colbert is one of the greatest comedians and entertainers alive. He is the host of the Colbert Report, and was jabbing at running for presidential office 08'. If Stephen Colbert ran for pres 08 it would probably off throw the election drastically, and would probably end badly. He would probably be the most influential candidate of the 2008 election because he is so idealized by America, and myself.

Hell, if Stephen Colbert ran, I would vote for him over any of these yahoo's. He cant tell a lie.

He is America. (And so can you!)

"Do you know Stephen Colbert?"
"Oh yeah. He's America!"

Stephen Colbert 

Your typical late night show host who relies on bashing Trump because it’s the only thing keeping his show going.

Person 1: Do you watch Stephen Colbert?
Person 2: Why would I want to watch an hour long “orange man bad” joke?

Stephen Colbert 

Is the host of the satirical fake news show "The Colbert Report" as Stephen Colbert. Probably the funniest guy currently on television. Has a surprising amount of fangirls, which in itself is really creepy.

Stephen Colbert plays Stephen Colbert in "The Colbert Report".
