Stephen Colbert Rejection #1: The Word

I've been trying to get a job writing for "The Colbert Report" from the very beginning. But holy crap - it's crazy competitive. Here's the first part of my latest (rejected) submission.

I'm a huge Colbert fan. And I gotta say, that's was not bad. That woulda been funny as shit if Colbert was performing it. Don't give up. I'm sure they get all kinda FREE ideas from the folks they reject.

[buttersquirrel]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the words of encouragement.

[just8some8guy]

Well done, Sir! I am going to name a space station after YOU.

[buttersquirrel]

Ha! Thanks. Or how about a really nifty treadmill instead?

[Nerolesca]

Yours wasn't crap like some people are saying but it's not quite there yet. My friend used to write for the Colbert Report and he said Stephen surprisingly writes a lot of his own material or at least contributes heavily.

Right? I'm sorry but there's a reason he's on Comedy Central and this guy isn't.

Hey, great job! I don't know how you didn't get a job!

[nickmax123]

that was BOSS, but probably a too dirty for TV.

[ellimist6]

Great video. Very funny indeed..

If you watch the show that's the way Stephen says it. Of course, it's wrong, but that's the joke.

[bersaba]

Not trying to be a dick, but I think the biggest problem was the audio/canned laughter. It's hard to hear you over the laughter, and the laughter is sort of constant thoughout, rather then "peaking" when the new joke (re, 'word' sentence) appears.

But, overall pretty good. Practice at delivery and this could be good.

[DerPoltergeist13]

That should have been used. THat's hilarious

[DrSuperMarioMan6464]

It's like a Colbert gone dirty!

[moojuiceman]

You've got something man, but you're throwing it all away immitating a satirical character. Stephen Colbert created Stephen Colbert. You're copying a dog doing tricks instead of the point, which is the tricks. Not the dog.

(and a good looking tallented dog he is!)

Get your own shit.

comedy central has no need to hire comedians. they have the internet to rip off other people for free for that.
