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.

Honestly for you to have written it by yourself that was damn good. I'm sure there is as you said plenty of competition though. However practice makes perfect, keep studying those episodes and maybe get some thoughts from those around you who are also fans. I dont see the colbert report going away anytime soon, so even if it dosent happen tomorrow, keep trying. You have the talent try branching out a little, maybe do your own thing on youtube, many get known that way.Creativity is important
@7tmo. Being creative no matter how ridiculous it may seem to you, only builds on your talent. Keep a postive mind, maybe even build your own fan base. But also sit back work at your goal, but take the freedom you have now at being able to do your own thing. New concepts, New Ideas, only you decide what is good or not when you have your own thing going for you. Good Luck.
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.

But don't give up!
I think with the help of some second, constructive opinion you could go somewhere. Keep trying man.
