For those outside of the US and anyone who is not a regular viewer of Comedy Central
Stephen Colbert is a geek. He has Captain America's Shield on his set, given to him by Marvel Editors in recognition of his Comic Geek status. Last week in an interview, Peter Jackson called him "The Biggest Geek I Have Ever Met". Stephen Colbert is one of us. His On Air personality is of a rabid/right wing commentator who promotes anything and everything American. He has become a comic book character, Tek Jansen, which had numerous episodes on his show and printed out as a five issue special comic.
The Colbert Report is a topical show, written daily for production in the evenings, so there is every chance we could get a mention if we can just catch their attention.
So this is the plan. Tweet and Twitter and Splash his Face Book Page with the 'Save CoH' campaign. We need the immediate impact that internet contact can provide. With the Holidays coming fast, his show will be going into reruns in the next week or so, and it could be very helpful to get mentioned before that happens.
I do not feel this sort of campaign is out of order. The Twitter Account information is publicly available from Comedy Central's website.

Some intern has the job of reading the Twitter feed come Monday morning and we want him to have a reason to tell the writers of the show about us. Tweet him, Tweet the Colbert Nation. Post on their FB page. Link the Disney buyout project, link the various mentions CoH has received on MMO sites and so on.
Double plus good!
