I like the USA fake news parodies such as John Stewart, Colbert and Bill O'Reilly.

This needn't devolve into a partisan argument and it will if the off-topic sniping continues.

This is about a comedian taking a few moments to offer a funny, but poignant tribute to a man who changed the world.

So, I beg of the members and staff to just keep it on topic.

Classic Stephen Colbert!!

The bit actually became kind of touching at the very end.

It was very touching, I thought, and not only that, but the ending came as a sort of a surprise.

That's what made it so effective and so ingenious.

If anyone watches the video to the end, it really ends on a very sweet and touching note.
