Stephen Colbert

Beyond Truthiness

By: Bruce Watson

Narrated by: Stephen Bowlby

Stephen Colbert is far more than a comedian and improv genius. As head of his fanciful Colbert Nation, the quick-witted host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and former host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report has delighted fans with his wit, audacity, and innovative uses of language and the media.

In this biography, award-winning journalist Bruce Watson, author of Jon Stewart: Beyond the Moments of Zen, charts Colbert's rise from boyhood tragedy to "greatest living cultural-media critic".

Insightful

An informative look at the man behind the colbert character and colbert nation. Good read.

Truthfully

Couldn’t unplug! A wonderful presentation - but of course with this fabulous human being as the subject of the podcast - you couldn’t go wrong!

Great book

I enjoyed the book very much. It gave me an insight into my absolute favorite comedian!!

Truthiness revealed and so much more

This was fun! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As it chronicles the path of its subject, I find myself returning to a simpler time and chuckling along the journey.

A much better narrator would have been nice

A much better narrator, for the bio of a comedian. would have been nice. An ok narration, but far too “documentary”. The story is wonderful, learning so much about the history behind the Man, someone honorably mentioned by Michelle Obama, in her book Becoming, for his tireless work for charity.
Love Stephen!
