A tribute site to Stephen Colbert has appropriately been set up here.

An anonymous comment about Colbert's performance on:
Chris Floyd - Empire Burlesque
"That was quite seriously one of the greatest and most significant performances I've ever seen in my life. I will count myself far beyond blessed if I ever witness another that even approaches it.
Stephen fucking Colbert. You did it. You got it off our chests. I was smiling for about four hours straight last night, flush with hilarity and dumb joy. My black, cynical heart is finally pumping fresh blood, and I can only hope that the smile on your face after you signed off-- after the video cut out and you announced it had been a true honor, after the crickets and the unhinged jaws-- I can only hope that that smile meant as much to you as I think it did."
