Colbert Goes International

He is America (And So Can You). And he’s also international. Mediabistro Golden Boa honoree and FishbowlNY frenemy Steven Colbert is going international with ”The Colbert Report Global Edition.” Colbert and Comedy Central are exporting his xenophobic and egomaniacal pundit character as an ambassador of irony. From Variety:

”The new 40-episode half-hour has been especially adapted for international auds and will be distributed alongside the original series, which has been picked up by CTV in Canada and Foxtel in Australia since its international launch last year.

”The ‘global edition’ concept has proved a success for ‘The Daily Show,’ which has built a strong following on international broadcasters such as CNN, Blighty digital web More4, CTV in Canada and France’s Canal Plus.”
