Stephen Tyrone Colbert (born on May 13, 1964) is an American political satirist, writer, comedian and television host. He is the host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, a satirical news show in which Colbert portrays a caricatured version of conservative political pundits.
Colbert originally studied to be an actor, but became interested in improvisational theatre when he met famed Second City director Del Close while attending Northwestern University. He first performed professionally as an understudy for Steve Carell at Second City Chicago; among his troupe mates were comedians Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris, with whom he developed the critically acclaimed sketch comedy series Exit 57.
Colbert also wrote and performed on the short-lived Dana Carvey Show before collaborating with Sedaris and Dinello again on the cult television series Strangers with Candy. He gained considerable attention for his role on the latter as closeted, gay history teacher Chuck Noblet. It was his work as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s news-parody series The Daily Show, however, that first introduced him to a wide audience.
In 2005, he left The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to host a spin-off series, The Colbert Report. Following The Daily Show’s news-parody concept, The Colbert Report is a parody of personality-driven political opinion shows such as The O’Reilly Factor. Since its debut, the series has established itself as one of Comedy Central’s highest-rated series, earning Colbert three Emmy nominations and an invitation to perform as featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in 2006. Colbert was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in 2006. His book, I Am America (And So Can You!), was No. 1 on The New York Times Best Seller List.
Drew Allison Carey (born May 23, 1958) is an American actor, comedian, photographer, and game show host. After serving in the U.S. Marines and making a name for himself in stand-up comedy, Carey eventually gained popularity starring on his own sitcom, The Drew Carey Show, and serving as host on the U.S. version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, both of which aired on ABC.
Carey has appeared in several films, television series, music videos, a made-for-television film, and a computer game. He currently hosts the game show The Price Is Right. He is interested in a variety of sports, has worked as a photographer at U.S. National Team soccer games, and is a minority owner of the Major League Soccer team Seattle Sounders FC. Carey is engaged and has written an autobiography detailing his early life and television career.

Fourth District Harbor Commissioner Race [Spoof]
Narrator: “So, have you heard? Three candidates are vying to become 4th District Harbor commissioner. You’ve seen all the spin and distortion, but what are the facts?
Susan Penn will be a hard-working advocate for jobs AND the environment. But what about her opponents?
Richard Marks wants us to believe hes an average joe — a former mill worker and softball player. But what his handlers DON’T want you to know is that he led a guerrilla army uprising in Peru that overthrew a democratically elected government. Marks — or as hes still known throughout South America, “el terrible” — is an indicted war criminal facing extradition in the Hague. If Richard “el terrible” Marks can’t be trusted with a rebel battalion and a fleet of Black Hawk helicopters, can he really be trusted with your vote?
Opponent John Ash isn’t much better. Holding himself out as an architect and kayak enthusiast, what Ash won’t tell you is that as a currency trader in the 1980s, he was responsible for single-handedly destroying the Singapore economy. A ruthless billionaire and economic wizard, the Wall Street Journal dubbed Ash “the Humboldt hitman” and said he “makes George Soros look like a rank amateur.”
Finally, there’s Susan Penn. Susan will restore Humboldt Bay’s natural beauty while boosting the economy with vital jobs.
Unlike her opponents, Susan has stated on record that she would never overthrow a democratic government or destroy its economy. And Susan Penn loves kittens.
Susan Penn. The right choice for Humboldt bay.”

Michael Ellis “Mike” Murphy (born 1962) is a Republican political consultant. He has advised such nationally prominent Republicans as John McCain, Jeb Bush, John Engler, Tommy Thompson, Spencer Abraham, Christie Whitman, Lamar Alexander, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was, until January 2006, an adviser to Mitt Romney, the Governor of Massachusetts and an about-to-become candidate for the Republican presidential nomination for the 2008 presidential election. He stepped down as a result of his role as chief strategist to Governor Romney as well as Senator McCain, who were both widely expected to be Republican challengers in the primaries of the 2008 Presidential election. Murphy said he had decided to be neutral in a contest between two close clients, although he would advise each informally.
Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger (born July 30, 1947) is an Austrian American bodybuilder, actor, model, businessman, and politician, who is currently serving as the 38th Governor of California.
Schwarzenegger began weight-training at 15. He was awarded the title of Mr. Universe at age 22 and went on to win the Mr. Olympia contest a total of seven times. Schwarzenegger has remained a prominent face in the sport of bodybuilding long after his retirement, and has written several books and numerous articles on the sport.
Schwarzenegger gained worldwide fame as a Hollywood action film icon, noted for his lead role in such films as Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator. He was nicknamed the “Austrian Oak” and the “Styrian Oak” in his bodybuilding days, “Arnold Strong” and “Arnie” during his acting career, and more recently the “Governator” (a portmanteau of “Governor” and “Terminator”).
As a Republican, he was first elected on October 7, 2003, in a special recall election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis. Schwarzenegger was sworn in on November 17, 2003, to serve the remainder of Davis’s term. Schwarzenegger was then re-elected on November 7, 2006, in California’s 2006 gubernatorial election, to serve a full term as governor, defeating Democrat Phil Angelides, who was California State Treasurer at the time. Schwarzenegger was sworn in for his first elected term on January 5, 2007.
Schwarzenegger is married to journalist Maria Shriver. The two have four children (two girls and two boys).
Gregory Everett “Greg” Proops (born October 3, 1959) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, voice actor, and producer.

Stephen Colbert joined the cast of Comedy Central’s parody-news series The Daily Show in 1997, when the show was in its second season. Originally one of four correspondents who filmed segments from remote locations in the style of network news field reporters, Colbert was referred to as “the new guy” on-air for his first two years on the show, during which time Craig Kilborn served as host. When Kilborn left the show prior to the 1999 season, Jon Stewart took over hosting duties, also serving as a writer and co-executive producer. From this point, the series gradually began to take on a more political tone and increase in popularity, particularly in the latter part of the 2000 U.S. presidential election season. The roles of the show’s correspondents were expanded to include more in-studio segments, as well as international reports which were almost always done in the studio with the aid of a greenscreen.
Unlike Stewart, who essentially hosts The Daily Show as himself, Colbert developed a correspondent character for his pieces on the series. Colbert has described his correspondent character as “a fool who has spent a lot of his life playing not the fool”—one who is able to cover it at least well enough to deal with the subjects that he deals with.” Colbert was frequently pitted against knowledgeable interview subjects, or against Stewart in scripted exchanges, with the resultant dialogue demonstrating the character’s lack of knowledge of whatever subject he is discussing. Colbert also made generous use of humorous fallacies of logic in explaining his point of view on any topic. Other Daily Show correspondents have adopted a similar style; former correspondent Rob Corddry recalls that when he and Ed Helms first joined the show’s cast in 2002, they “just imitated Stephen Colbert for a year or two.” Correspondent Aasif Mandvi has stated “I just decided I was going to do my best Stephen Colbert impression.”
Colbert has appeared in several recurring segments for The Daily Show, including “Even Stevphen” with Steve Carell, in which both characters were expected to debate a selected topic but instead would unleash their anger at one another. Colbert commonly hosted “This Week in God”, a report on topics in the news pertaining to religion, presented with the help of the “God Machine”. Colbert filed reports from the floor of the Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention as a part of The Daily Show’s award-winning coverage of the 2000 and 2004 U.S. Presidential elections; many from the latter were included as part of their The Daily Show: Indecision 2004 DVD release. In several episodes of The Daily Show, Colbert filled in as anchor in the absence of Jon Stewart, including the full week of March 3, 2002, when Stewart was scheduled to host Saturday Night Live. After Colbert left the show, Rob Corddry took over “This Week in God” segments, although a recorded sample of Colbert’s voice is still used as the sound effect for the God Machine. Later episodes of The Daily Show have reused older Colbert segments under the label “Klassic Kolbert”. Colbert won three Emmys as a writer of The Daily Show in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
