Stephen Tyrone Colbert (born May 13, 1964) is an American political satirist, writer, comedian, television host, and actor. He is the host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, a satirical news show in which Colbert portrays a caricatured version of conservative political pundits. Colbert originally studied to be an actor, but became interested in improvisational theatre when he met famed Second City director Del Close while attending Northwestern University. He first performed professionally as an understudy for Steve Carell at Second City Chicago; among his troupe mates were comedians Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris, with whom he developed the critically acclaimed sketch comedy series Exit 57. Colbert also wrote and performed on the short-lived Dana Carvey Show before collaborating with Sedaris and Dinello again on the cult television series Strangers with Candy. He gained considerable attention for his role on the latter as closeted gay history teacher Chuck Noblet. It was his work as a correspondent on Comedy Central's news-parody series The Daily Show, however, that first introduced him to a wide audience. In 2005, he left The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to host a spin-off series, The Colbert Report. Following The Daily Show's news-parody concept, The Colbert Report is a parody of personality-driven political opinion shows such as The O'Reilly Factor. Since its debut, the series has established itself as one of Comedy Central's highest-rated series, earning Colbert three Emmy Award nominations and an invitation to perform as featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in 2006. Colbert was named one of Time's 100 most influential people in 2006. His book I Am America (And So Can You!) was No. 1 on The New York Times Best Seller list.

Mojo
for Mojo in Casting The Mojoverse in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Suggested by jaredkirschenbaum
The Mojoverse is a universe inhabited by all kinds of bizarre aliens, and chief among them are the "Spineless Ones", a race of yellow jelly-men. One of the Spineless Ones, Mojo, created/colonized a planet and called it "Mojoworld", where he hosts an interdimensional reality show featuring a cast of eccentric combatants fighting for their lives. The Mojoverse and its cadre of characters appear every so often in X-Men comics. Sometimes, the X-men are transported to the Mojoverse and forced to compete in the battles royale. Other times, a resident of Mojoworld takes refuge on Earth and joins a team like the X-Men, X-Factor, X-Force, Freedom Force, or Brotherhood of Mutants. Will the Mojoverse characters make an appearance in an X-Men movie? Well, one already has, and even name checked Mojoworld. But in the MCU, there's more than enough room for another universe with a planet ruled by a sadistic TV producer, whose contestants regularly warp to the main reality and vice versa. Hell, they can do a Mojoworld movie. It can completely work on its own starring these characters. However, it would not be surprising if something like the New Mutants or Generation X got a series and then spent a season on Mojoworld. Or, even if every so often, without warning, a couple of characters are whisked away into the Mojoverse for an adventure, and then returned to the original storyline. So, here are the main Mojoverse characters and who should play them.
