The UK needs Stephen Colbert as much as the USA. Discuss.

To:  More Four

We, the undersigned, feel that not only is the time ripe for the addition of The Colbert Report, with Stephen Colbert to the More Four schedule, but that More Four's schedule and ratings will be much, much improved for it's presence.

Since the Whitehouse Correspondent's Dinner on April 29th, in which Stephen Colbert performed an act of extreme courage, honesty and, above all, hilarity, the buzz has been increasing over this much undervalued show, and it's star, causing thousands of supporters to sign the virtual thank you card housed at www.thankyoustephencolbert.com, proving his particular brand of Truthiness is something many people value.

Not to mention the fact it will make it easier for the More Four Editors, who will no longer have to edit out the handover from Jon Stewart, a part of the show that US viewers have come to look forward to as much as any part of the show.

This leaves us UK viewers wondering only why it hasn’t already been picked up already by, what seems to be the most forward thinking channel amongst the detritus of the digital package.

Please More Four, we need Truthiness, we need a no facts zone, we need the Colbert Report.

Thank you.

PS: And if, for some reason, you’re not convinced that us Brits all feel the same, I refer you here http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1766835,00.html, proof, if any were needed, that the UK is screaming out to become a Colbert Nation.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
