Fool of the Week: Stephen Colbert
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}He won us over with his parody of your typical talking head cable TV host. Stephen Colbert is a brand. A successful, popular brand.
He took shots at conservatives through parody and pun.
I loved his humor even though he took several personal shots at me.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}He was that good.
Colbert will take over "The Late Show" from David Letterman in 9 months.
And the character that was "Colbert" will go away.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}And the real Stephen will host that show.
So why would he give it all up?
Well, for the fame and the money of course!
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}That’s where you lost me Stephen.
A bigger name -- Jon Stewart -- is sticking around for now, after getting bigger offers than "The Late Show."
That’s commitment!
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Stephen Colbert, for abandoning what made you a star, you've earned yourself "The Fool of the Week" title.
