NY Times Interview: Stephen Colbert

Will you continue the tradition of political satire that allowed "The Daily Show" to inject so much welcome gravity into the light, goofy realm of late-night TV?

Jon would be so happy as a comedian to hear that he injected gravity. Can I be the one to tell him?

Seriously, what do you have against gravity?

If we thought we added gravity to anything, we would feel that we had failed. We're just trying to ease the pain of people who feel the world is going insane and no one is noticing. We're like Cortaid, something not too heavy that is used for a rash or a bug bite. I wouldn't use it for a wound.
