His whole schtick is a parody of those he ridicules publicly. I have a friend who thinks his "act" is the real Stephen Colbert - once I explained to him that he was actually mocking them, he understood the comedy better.

I've seen both these guys really ask the best questions and they will re-ask again and again until they get an answer.

He is performing: Satire. He is not bashing Christians, he is bashing the hypocrites. He is not serious about his name pronunciation, he is making fun of snobs. Colbert loves being bested by his guests because the guests who best him are the ones the real Stephen Colbert (who teaches Sunday School and attends Mass) agrees with...

The entry doesn't give an explanation for why he goes by a different pronunciation now, but the pronunciation of his name is one of the objects for teasing him on the show occasionally (e.g. Eleanor Holmes Norton always calls him ColberT, as if to take him down a notch).

But, he actually makes fun of Christians and he uses words which have to be bleeped when talking about anything related to the Bible.

Yes, I watch the show quite often and I like it when he literally becomes speechless when a person bests him.

His show is merely a spin-off of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” At least, Stewart doesn't claim to be something he is not.
