| 55 | David Walker | 2007-04-25 |

In "The Word", Stephen revisited Monday's story about the 15 British sailors; in response to a British colonel making the distinction between the soldiers' experiences and reality TV, Stephen devised the notion that perhaps Americans should "make the war a reality show" to achieve success in Iraq and to prepare for a future "spin-off in Iraq." | ||

| 44 | Clive James | 2007-03-29 |
| First, Stephen questioned the necessity of the Equal Rights Amendment, since everyone should be on the honor system.

In response, Stephen suggested that Americans think of Iraq's capitol as Neverland. | ||
| 43 | Jabari Asim | 2007-03-28 |

| 2 | White House Correspondents Dinner | 2006-04-29 |
| On April 29, 2006, American comedian Stephen Colbert appeared as the featured entertainer at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, which was held in Washington, D.C., at the Hilton Washington hotel. Colbert's performance consisted of a 16-minute podium speech and a 7-minute video presentation, which were broadcast live across the United States on cable television networks C-SPAN and MSNBC. Standing a few feet from U.S. President George W. Bush[1]—in front of an audience of celebrities, politicians, and members of the White House Press Corps[2]—Colbert delivered a controversial, searing routine targeting the president and the media.[3] Cable television personality Colbert spoke in the persona of the character he plays on Comedy Central's popular The Colbert Report, a parody of a conservative pundit in the fashion of Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. Guest stars: Helen Thomas | ||
