  • Stephen Colbert's Super PAC and the Growing Role of Comedy in Our
    STEPHEN COLBERT’S SUPER PAC AND THE GROWING ROLE OF COMEDY IN OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE BY MELISSA CHANG, SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS ADVISER: CHRIS EDELSON, PROFESSOR IN THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS UNIVERSITY HONORS IN CLEG SPRING 2012 Dedicated to Professor Chris Edelson for his generous support and encouragement, and to Professor Lauren Feldman who inspired my capstone with her course on “Entertainment, Comedy, and Politics”. Thank you so, so much! 2 | C h a n g STEPHEN COLBERT’S SUPER PAC AND THE GROWING ROLE OF COMEDY IN OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE Abstract: Comedy plays an increasingly legitimate role in the American political discourse as figures such as Stephen Colbert effectively use humor and satire to scrutinize politics and current events, and encourage the public to think more critically about how our government and leaders rule. In his response to the Supreme Court case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) and the rise of Super PACs, Stephen Colbert has taken the lead in critiquing changes in campaign finance. This study analyzes segments from The Colbert Report and the Colbert Super PAC, identifying his message and tactics. This paper aims to demonstrate how Colbert pushes political satire to new heights by engaging in real life campaigns, thereby offering a legitimate voice in today’s political discourse. INTRODUCTION While political satire is not new, few have mastered this art like Stephen Colbert, whose originality and influence have catapulted him to the status of a pop culture icon. Never breaking character from his zany, blustering persona, Colbert has transformed the way Americans view politics by using comedy to draw attention to important issues of the day, critiquing and unpacking these issues in a digestible way for a wide audience.

    T H E U N I V E R S I T Y O F C H I C AG O | T h e C o l l e g e CLASS DAY 2 0 1 9 J U N E 14 PRESENTED BY: Rebecca Jarvis, AB ‘03 Hello class of 2019. Congratulations! I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I’m not here to pay off your student loans. The good news is that I’m confident at least one of you out there today, will be able to make good on that class gift in the not so distant future. Thank you, Dean Boyer and Dean Ellison for the invitation to speak today. Thank you students for having me here to share in your class day celebrations! It is such an honor to be here with all of you. I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2003 with a degree in law, letters & society and economics. This campus is where i had some of the greatest debates of my life. Where my own assumptions and views were challenged daily. Where I learned how not what to think – truly one of the greatest gifts of a UChicago education. It’s also where I met my husband and made lifelong friends. But 16 years ago, sitting where you are, I still had so many questions. I was free! I was going to do big things. But how exactly would I do those big things? So I come here today with five hopefully valuable lessons, some more hard won than others, that I’ve learned on my post-UChicago journey.
