On October 17, 2005, Comedy Central debuted the missing link in what would eventually become “the most compelling fake news hour in basic cable.” The new show was The Colbert Report, and it starred faux-pundit Stephen Colbert as a “Papa Bear” Bill O’Reilly minion who wanted to “save the world” by imposing his conservative truthiness in our guts, because according to his beliefs, the gut is way better at making decisions than the brain. Despite the doubts of some so-called critics, The Report would last 10 seasons and 1,447 episodes as of this Thursday, when the show will air for the last time.

Tonight’s episode was the beginning of the final week of The Report. It was a phenomenal episode. It has been over two years since we’ve seen Formidable Opponent. We were lucky enough to see this outstanding segment one last time.
On a personal note, it is difficult to believe that this is the last Episode Guide of The Colbert Report that I will write for Colbert News Hub. It has been an honor to write these Guides and I truly hope that all of the fans out there have enjoyed reading them. I know I will miss writing them. So, I bid a fond farewell to my Episode Guides. It has been a privilege transcribing the brilliant words of Stephen and The Report writers. It was a pleasure taking screencaps and capturing the magnificent moments of joy that Stephen brings to all of us. For the final time, here is my Episode Guide. Enjoy, Hubsters!
