I don't care about Superman, at all, and its very infrequent that when I'm watching tv alone I laugh heftily, this genuinely made me sit there laughing for quite a while. Colbert is up there as one of the greatest comedic minds today, cancel the very unfunny John Stewart show and make Colbert an hour long.

For those of you that can't see it...

It says:

Colbert- "A British Superman... it's bad enough that James Bond is British. Superman is American!!! His name is Super-Man nor Smashing-Gent."

That is awesome.
