I have to confess, that when I first saw Colbert whilke one holiday in the US, I wasn't entirely sure if he was a satire or not.

He's very believable, particularly if you don't know any background on him. He's been getting a bit more wacky of late, so it's a bit easier to tell. Still, he plays the part of a complete right wing jingoistic idiot extremely well. If he just toned it down a little, and removed the openly comedic segments, it would be impossible to tell that it's satire.
