This
illustrious company is founded on the principle that everyone
can be successful and have a voice to speak their ideas,
even people as plain as the name given to millions of
people each year, Steve! Every so often, the Axis of Stevil
takes pleasure in shining the proverbial spotlight on
a Steve who shows excellence in their field.
In
an ongoing effort to support , the cliche, yet extremely
important, First Ammendment Right to Stickin' it to the
Man, The Axis of Stevil would like to salute you:
This
week, the Axis of Stevil would like to tip its hat to
a man who is not only a writer, comedian, and actor, but
savvy news anchor as well.
Every
once in a while, on the graph of quality entertainment,
the world experiences a spike in such great proportions
that it cannot be charted any longer, that is to say until
Golden Girls re-runs stop playing on day time television.
One of these exotic and interesting spikes has occurred
recently, and during this time of uncharted proportions
the laughs never stop rolling in. The occurrence of this
spike is recently relative to the appearance of one of
the most comical Steves in the history
of Steves.
In
the humid air of the Charleston Bay, one May, in 1964,
there was a slight shift in the earths outer most layer,
“Pure-wit”. It was this day that Stephen Colbert
emerged from the ashes of dry humor and burst into the
scene as a wandering soul of amusement. Upon further development
and a Northwestern University diploma in hand, Stephen
was off and into the world to spread his expressive wings
and fly to the top of pop and political cultural fame,
doing stand-up, comedy shows and even Good Morning
America.
Among
his appearances and starring roles on The Daily
Show, O’Reilly Factor,
Strangers with Candy, and Whose
Line Is It Anyway, Stephen managed to land his
own television show, The Colbert Report,
and act on the opportunity to illuminate the toon world
with the comic light. He also had pleasure of writing
and starring in the great, made for Comedy Central television
experience, Exit 57.
It
is no doubt that Stephen Colbert is one of the greatest
comical, cool-headed, witty personalities in this universe
today. He has bewitched us with his candy of laughter
and handed us the good wrench of satirical politics. The
media world is in debt to your service, Mr. Colbert. Keep
up the great work!
The
Axis of Stevil news desk will maintain a fabric chair
with Stephen's name ironed on the back until the end of
time. The Axis of Stevil salutes you, Stephen Colbert
