Colbert plays a character who shares his name. Colbert's character is a liberal stereotype of a conservative pundit, particularly a mockery of Fox News host [[Bill O'Reilly]] and ''[[The O'Reilly Factor]]''. Colbert has a guest every episode on the last segment, including authors, activists, and occasionally politicians and political personalities. He has said that his personality was based on O'Reilly, [[Anderson Cooper]], and [[Geraldo Rivera|Geraldo]].

Colbert's interviews are short and almost never serious, where Colbert's character often jokes around and never to the point, making often unrelated jokes and random obvious fallacies.

Colbert is famous for coining words, most notably ''truthiness'', which states facts are meaningless and one should trust his gut, which was coined to mock conservatives by saying they are unintelligent or unlearned.
