It's a spin-off from the Daily Show, which you may have heard of, it's shown on More4 here.Both of them satirise mostly US news. The Colbert Report (pronounced Col-bare Rep-or) is hosted by a comedian in character, parodying those reactionary right-wing hosts they have over there. It's very good.
Unfortunately without a workaround you can't watch videos on the site from this country, though you can watch this on youtube:

Same character, amazingly asked to do the White House Correspondents' Dinner with President Bush. Slams him.
'We can bounce back with the most-powerfully staged photo-ops in the world!'
Worth a watch if you have a free eight minutes.

The show was probably cancelled because the Secret Service pushed him under a subway train.Public Enemy No. 1 has been crossed off the list..
