Political Comedy Holiday Specials

Stephen Colbert's ‘A Colbert Christmas'

If you can’t get enough Stephen Colbert in your life, tune in this Sunday to Comedy Central for his political comedy show’s holiday special, titled ‘A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All.’

Stephen Colbert promises an evening filled with laughter and star-studded musical guests for ‘A Colbert Christmas.’ Colbert will host confirmed appearances from Elvis Costello, Feist, Willie Nelson, John Legend, Toby Keith and Jon Stewart.

While Stephen Colbert’s trademark snark will be on display, its music has received the most critical acclaim. Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne teamed up with Daily Show producer and lyricist David Javerbaum to create the songs that will inevitably become new classics.

Stephen Colbert’s ‘A Colbert Christmas’ shows this Sunday on Comedy Central at 10 PM.
