How Do You Pronouce "The Colbert Report?"

[Tinneh]

A lot of people I talk to pronounce The Colbert Report by pronouncing all of the T's in the two words, whereas when I say it (not pronouncing the T's,) my friends say I'm wrong. How do you say it?

 

[delet]

Well, he tells you how to pronounce it on his very show. There was even an episode about it.

No pronouncing the 'T'.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

Colbert, being french, you don't pronounce the T. Report, on the other hand, you can pronounce the T if you want to be proper, or you don't have to, if you want to sound like a frenchie.

The "Coal-Bear Ree-Porr"

 

[NeutralDrow]

The Colber Repor.

The distinction is necessary. Stephen Colbert is the actor. Stephen Colber is the character.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

The way it says in the Commercials, and the show, and by Colbert himself a few times.
No "T" in Colbert.

 

[soapyshooter]

the colbear repoor. there i spelled it phonetically

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Coal-bear Re- pour. The same way its said in every commercial and at least ten time during the show.

 

[Julianking93]

No pronunciation of the T

 

[Pingieking]

The way he says it in the show. I think that's the way that they intended it to be said.

 

[senorcromas]

Col-BEAR!!! Report.

At least, I think so...

 

[Shockolate]

I usually leave the second T in there. I'm amused that its Col-Bear, and that he is terrified of bears.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

"Leftwing Comedy" that pretend to be right wing.

Leave the "t" off.

 

[Looking For Alaska]

The Cole-Bear Ree-port

 

[AkJay]

The [Cole-Bear] [Ree-Port]

 

[Asturiel]

Just think of a coal bear. Then think of how Steven Colber(silent)t would react to it.

Its a funny train of thought that never fails.

 

[Godspiel]

No "t"s for Colbert or Report, unless it's a Colbert Report Special Report, in which case the t in the second "report" is not only pronounced, but over-enunciated. "T"s are also ignored in the event of a Sport Report.

 

[Paksenarrion]

Kulburt Riport. That is how I pronounce it. With heavy T's.

 

[CoverYourHead]

Kulburt Riport. That is how I pronounce it. With heavy T's.

I'm going to hate, hate myself for saying this but... you're doing it wrong.

In every episode it is pronounced Coal-bear Re-poor.
