The Colbert Report coming to FX UK?
Posted: Saturday, 15th March 2008 at 12:57pm by Paul
The Colbert Report looks set to be coming to FX for UK TV audiences very soon if a pending deal goes through. The official FX UK website reports “It looks as though FX UK are about to close the deal with MTV to bring Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report to the UK for the summer”. The post on the official FX site just says “launch date to follow”. We have been running a petition to get Colbert on a UK TV channel for a while now, so this really is excellent news. Watch this space. There might be a bit of irony if/when he comes to FX - the majority of his act is making fun of Fox News, etc. If you can’t wait, head on over to the new look official website for The Colbert Report for show clips and more - click here.

The wording is interesting “bring Stephen Colbert … to the UK”, does that mean HE might come over here? To perhaps promote it, or even do an episode here?

Yes, that is quite odd phrasing, so it could mean something like that. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. In any case, it would be fantastic to have Colbert on TV over here. :-)
