At the head of The Colbert Report one of the most popular shows on television Stephen Colbert is a pop culture phenomenon. More than one million people backed his fake candidacy in the 2008 U.S. presidential election on Facebook a testament to the particularly rich set of issues and emotions Colbert brings to mind. Stephen Colbert and Philosophy is crammed with thoughtful and amusing chapters each written by a philosopher and all focused on Colbert's inimitable reality — from his word creations (truthiness wikiality freem and others) to his position as a faux-pundit who openly mocks Fox News and CNN. Although most of the discussion is centered around The Colbert Report this collection does not neglect either his best-selling book I Am America (And So Can You!) or his public performances including his incendiary 2006 White House Press Correspondents' Dinner speech.
