There's a reason why he won't be speaking at the WH Correspondents Dinner again.

I saw clips of his speech at the dinner. Some of it was hilarious, but I think he tried to hard to be funny and people weren't really buying it. What's the reason why he won't be speakin there anymore?

People weren't laughing because he was standing in a room with the most powerful people in the world and making fun of them.

Same with Stewart when he bombed at the Oscars. Making fun of the people you have been invited to perform for usually doesn't get you invited back.

See if you can find the 60 minutes interview with him and I think Ed Bradley if you want to see what he's more "like". His dad and a brother were killed in a plane crash when he was 11 or so

Yeah ripping Bush and the mainstream media when everyone in attendance is a Bush supporter or works for the media probably didn't go over to well. However, i was laughing my ass off when he did that, it was frigging brilliant (albeit mean).

It was hysterically funny for some, gut wrenchingly insulting to others(audience). They all had it coming and Colbert voiced what millions of Real people would like to convey. :thumbsup: to Colbert
