Busted!

In this AP story, Colbert admits he's a fraud, that among other things, there is no Esteban Colberto, it's really just Stephen in disguise.

Another sly comment came during the writers strike, when Comedy Central's parent company, Viacom Inc., pushed "The Daily Show" and "The Report" back into production without writers. Colbert, desperate for material, rebroadcast an interview with CNN pundit Lou Dobbs, renown for his tough stance on immigration.

Dobbs' segment aired exactly as it had months earlier, but Colbert's side was redone with him dressed as "Estaban Colberto," a Spanish-speaking, mustachioed alter-ego (yes, alter-egos can have their own alter-egos). Estaban arrived at the interview by creeping under a chicken-wire fence.

Watch for yourself:




Wait till Comedy Central finds out. Colbert, aka Colberto, probably double billed them...
