Colbert played a character who shares his name. Colbert's character was 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]].

He failed to make a descent parody of a conservative because he was focused on mocking [[Fox News]], which is led by [[RINOs]]. Perhaps he knew that if he was to satirize true conservatism, he would have failed miserably because its ideas are rock-solid.
Colbert's interviews were 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.
