Comedy Central's Colbert to Write Book

NEW YORK - First "Fake News," now "Truthiness." The publisher of Jon Stewart's million-selling "America (The Book)" is releasing a book by Stephen Colbert.


"This book will have the same noble goal as my television show: to change the world one factual error at a time," Colbert said Tuesday in a statement issued by Warner Books.

Colbert's book, currently untitled, is scheduled to come out in the fall of 2007. Colbert, a longtime fixture on Stewart's "Daily Show," now hosts "The Colbert Report," also aired on Comedy Central.

Colbert also has a background with words. He contributed to "America (The Book)," co-authored "Wigfield" with Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello and is credited with coining "truthiness," named Word of the Year for 2005 by the American Dialect Society.

more likely. book writin' is hard work, especially when you're doing 4 new shows a week.

Can't wait to see it!

No doubt it will be dedicated to Papa Bear O'Reilly.

..every time I see a pic of Stephen Colbert, I laugh?

Funniest man in America.

Naw, I'm only kidding.

I deactivated my solivisor as I stepped through the autoslide doors of the Planetary Government and Social Protection Programs building's majestic lobby, the newly transparent fluxiglass lenses giving me a clear view of the lobby's central feature—a hologram of the New Geneva cityscape that couldn't help but call attention, I wryly thought to myself, to the fact that the PGSPP building was by far the tallest in the city, a result of the demolition order that was the first law passed when the new New Terran government, the Planetary Parliament, was formed by the merger of the European Regency Council and the East-West Oversight Alliance. I didn't understand the point. New Terra was working fine when it was run by three separate governments: The European Regency Council, which controlled all of New Europe, which consisted of 20th Century Europe plus the former Soviet Union, the Mediterranean countries, and India; the East-West Oversight Alliance, created when the governments of Americana (which in the 20th century was known as North America, Central America, and South America) and the Asian Protectorate (the 20th century Asia and the good parts of Africa) were united by the charismatic Vizier Thurmond Chang; and the Southern Colony, which ruled Australia, Southern Africa, and Antarctica until they were destroyed by the Planetary Parliament shortly after their merger in 2412.
