His last show was the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. He pretended to be an arch-neocon as a bit, which was not only hilarious but also resulted in several high profile right wingers eating the onion.
His character (also named Stephen Colbert) was specifically and primarily based on Bill O’Reilly, who was not pretending. It’s why Stephen often referred to Bill as “Papa Bear”
I always find the term eating the onion amusing. Especially as a Australian where we had a conservative Prime Minister bite into and eat a raw onion like an apple.
