The Colbert Report Special Reports

From Wikiality

On occasion, Stephen Colbert will devote an entire episode of The Colbert Report to a specific theme, referred to as a "Colbert Report Special Reports" (with the 't' in the second 'report' enunciated in contrast to the silent 't' in the first). All normal recurring segments including The Wørd are influenced by the theme, as is the interview. Before the interview, Colbert adds some theme-related flourish to his walk from the C Desk to the Axe Body Spray Interview Zone. There have been twelve Special Reports so far:
