In And Nothing But the Truthiness, The Rise (and Further Rise) of Stephen Colbert, Lisa Rogak chronicles the ascent of comedian and political satirist Stephen Colbert in her recent work and examines how the production styles of both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report have contributed to Colbert's success. Exploring Colbert's past and present, Rogak illustrates the influence of Colbert's large family, as well as the difficult hardships faced by the comedian at a young age. From person to persona, Truthiness helps explain all the elements that go into the TV performances, political rallies, and even commencement speeches. Consider yourself part of the Colbert Nation? And Nothing But the Truthiness might just be for you.
