Stephen Colbert

Beyond Truthiness

De: Bruce Watson

Narrado por: Stephen Bowlby

Stephen Colbert is far more than a comedian and improv genius. As head of his fanciful Colbert Nation, the quick-witted host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and former host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report has delighted fans with his wit, audacity, and innovative uses of language and the media.

In this biography, award-winning journalist Bruce Watson, author of Jon Stewart: Beyond the Moments of Zen, charts Colbert's rise from boyhood tragedy to "greatest living cultural-media critic".

Insightful

An informative look at the man behind the colbert character and colbert nation. Good read.

Truthiness revealed and so much more

This was fun! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As it chronicles the path of its subject, I find myself returning to a simpler time and chuckling along the journey.

A much better narrator would have been nice

A much better narrator, for the bio of a comedian. would have been nice. An ok narration, but far too “documentary”. The story is wonderful, learning so much about the history behind the Man, someone honorably mentioned by Michelle Obama, in her book Becoming, for his tireless work for charity.
Love Stephen!

Truthfully

Couldn’t unplug! A wonderful presentation - but of course with this fabulous human being as the subject of the podcast - you couldn’t go wrong!

Great book

I enjoyed the book very much. It gave me an insight into my absolute favorite comedian!!

Well written enjoyable listen

Loved it and will listen to it again. Very entertaining contains a lot of information I didn't know about Stephen before.

Love Colbert even more!!!!

Finished in just one day and I’m so glad to know more about this man who shared his substance and integrity so generously with the world.

Great!

wish it was read by Stephen Colbert, but very entertaining and interesting. I'm a fan regardless.

Stephen, Stephen!

I started watching Stephen when he took over the Late Show after listening to my son, a fan of the Daily Show and Colbert Report, talk about him for years.
I enjoy his quirky sense of humor and quick wit.
I never saw the character described in this book, but now I know the roots of the Stephen Colbert that I’ve gotten to know and appreciate over the past decade or so.
Note: The narration was pretty good, but at times in the last chapter the voice sounded somewhat robotic.
Otherwise, I liked the book and getting to know my favorite late night tv host.

Solid bio

A great behind the scenes of what we know of Stephen Colbert today. In this you see where he came from.
