The Man in the Irony Mask - great profile/interview of Stephen Colbert, also previews his upcoming book.
In [I Am America (And So Can You!)], Colbert lampoons the pretensions and hypocrisies of modern American society in a way that blends high- and lowbrow humor (or “Ganesh jokes and poop jokes,” as Colbert tells me). “I deliver my Truth hot and hard,” Colbert writes in the introduction. “Think you can handle it? I’m scared of Koreans. Bam! That’s me off the cuff. Blunt and in your face. No editing. I think it. I say it. You read it. Sometimes I don’t even think it, I just say it. Baby carrots are trying to turn me gay.“
