Is Stephen Colbert the funniest man on TV?

Quick, name the funniest two minutes on TV each week.

If you said Andy Rooney's weekly segment on 60 Minutes, the first segment of Two And A Half Men, or even the C-SPAN presentation of President Bush's weekly radio address, I'm afraid you are very wrong.

The answer is Stephen Colbert doing "This Week In God" on The Daily Show (Jon Stewart's show on Comedy Central).

"This Week In God" is so consistently funny, it almost makes me believe it was created by a higher power. Of course, when the entire world of religion is yours to make fun of, and you can be as smart and insouciant as The Daily Show always is, there's a lot of opportunity. Oh yeah, and events like a new Pope being elected and a brain-dead woman being kept alive inspiring a fight in Congress help, too. But the jokes are always original and surprising.

And sold to their fullest. On a show with a lot of comic talent (Jon Stewart, Lewis Black, Steve Carell, etc.), Stephen Colbert is the funniest of them all. He commits 100% to even his most absurd jokes, though always with a knowing wink to the audience (and Stewart). He just got a deal for his own show to follow The Daily Show, in which he'll spoof personality-driven political shows like Hardball. I'm sure it will be hilarious.

Anyway, I don't even know if "This Week In God" (click here and you can see an old segment) is really a weekly segment. It doesn't seem to be on any set day. So I suggest just Tivoing The Daily Show every day and watching for it.
