About this title

Synopsis

Stephen Colbert was The Daily Show's longest-running and most memorable correspondent. His right-wing super-patriotic persona his insight and general rightness led to The Colbert Report a half-hour TV platform for his views on the issues of the day and more importantly why everyone else's views are just plain wrong.

I Am America (And So Can You!) features Stephen's most deeply held knee-jerk beliefs on everything from The Family to Race and Immigration and provides the ultimate satirical guide to the glorious marvel that is American Life. He bravely takes on the forces aligned to destroy America - whether they be terrorists environmentalists or brand-name breakfast cereals - and tackles difficult issues like religion sexuality and nature ('I've never trusted the sea. What's it hiding under there?')

With hilarious illustrations and charts ('Things That Are Trying to Turn Me Gay' 'Sports to Ignore' and many more) and a complete transcript of Colbert's infamous speech at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner this is a brilliantly funny book as well as a very clever commentary on America today.

About the Author

Stephen Colbert was The Daily Show's longest-running and most diverse correspondent. In addition to his role as Senior Political Correspondent he was one of the hosts of "Even Stephven," a point-counterpoint assault featuring co-correspondent Steve Carell, and the host of "This Week in God," in which he reported on all things theological with the assistance of the "God Machine." His personality, insight and overall rightness could only lead to The Colbert Report, a half-hour nightly platform for him to give his take on the issues of the day, and, more importantly, to tell you why everyone else's take is just plain wrong. The show has been hugely successful. (2008)
