The Colbert Report season 7 episode 36 – Jeff Greenfield Online Free - There are a number of noteworthy recurring elements in most episodes of The Colbert Report. Most episodes feature “The Wørd” of the day, which serves as a theme for a monologue early in the episode, each has a studio guest later in the episode, and each begins with a brief summary of what the episode will contain, followed by an introductory phrase and then by the theme music. This introductory phrase very often inserts the word truth into a common phrase, such as “Apply Truth liberally to the inflamed area”, or says “this is The Colbert Report”, though there are exceptions.

The Colbert Report season 7 episode 36 – Jeff Greenfield Online Free - Colbert calls for a boycott of James Frey (the man, not his controversial book A Million Little Pieces) for upsetting Oprah Winfrey. Colbert celebrates the discussion of “truthiness” by Oprah and Frank Rich on her show, and by the hosts of Nightline. Colbert switched to the second Wørd “Unscripted” as he emulated George W. Bush’s recent spate of casual appearances and launched into an “unscripted” question-and-answer session with the audience, which happened to feature an African-American, female, U.S. Marine and an Iraqi Kurd profusely thanking Colbert and exclaiming the greatness of America; “Tip of the Hat / Wag of the Finger” included a tip of the hat to paleontologists who discovered the fossil remains of effigia okeeffeae, an ancestor to crocodiles, for disproving the “Darwinlutionists” who tried to claim that every kind of creature had evolved from monkeys; also a wag of the finger to the same paleontologists, who named the extinct species after Georgia O’Keeffe, whose painting scares the hell out of Colbert, instead of after Edwin H. Colbert,[6] who originally found the fossils.
