Comedy Central's Colbert to Write Book

[obnoxiousdrunk]

NEW YORK - First "Fake News," now "Truthiness." The publisher of Jon Stewart's million-selling "America (The Book)" is releasing a book by Stephen Colbert.


"This book will have the same noble goal as my television show: to change the world one factual error at a time," Colbert said Tuesday in a statement issued by Warner Books.

Colbert's book, currently untitled, is scheduled to come out in the fall of 2007. Colbert, a longtime fixture on Stewart's "Daily Show," now hosts "The Colbert Report," also aired on Comedy Central.

Colbert also has a background with words. He contributed to "America (The Book)," co-authored "Wigfield" with Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello and is credited with coining "truthiness," named Word of the Year for 2005 by the American Dialect Society.
