Games Come To the Colbert Nation

Stephen Colbert's hit Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report" has already seen some game-related activities. You may recall the day he retired his dice because of Dungeons and Dragons Online's launch, or "Everything Bad is Good For You" author Steven Johnson's appearance on the show. Last week, though, with the release of the Wii, Colbert had to "get his Wii on", and demonstrated Wii Boxing vs. a virtual Nancy Pelosi. Next Monday will see veteran game designer Will Wright on the show.

"I see he's tagged as "Dr. Stephen Colbert" in the credits, anyone know what his subject is?"

I believe he's parodying Bill Cosby...who after getting his honorary PhD added it to his name in the credits to "The Cosby Show."

Your post has a certain odor of 'truthiness' about it.

In fact, Cosby earned a real live Ph.D. in the field of education at UMass during the 1970s.

This was during the same time that he was working on the Fat Albert cartoon.

you're not getting the point. Colbert, as seen on the Colbert report, is a character. He plays an internet-hating, republican-loving news anchor, where as in real life, he leans left, and is actually decently teched out.
