Will I be dead to Stephen Colbert?

From a notebook item on one of his Better Know a District's
And is "Hardy har har" right for laughter?

Hardy har har, but we have to laugh since it is best not to get crossways with Colbert since if you disagree you might get “put on notice” or, even worse, the dreaded “dead to me.” A place Associated Press reporter Heather Clark is still on, since failing to note in an AP article Colbert’s invention of the word “truthiness” that later claimed the 2006 word of the year award.
Colbert also claims the title of “Dr.” having been given in an honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts from Knox College in Illinois, but disgraced boxer and convicted felon Mike Tyson also has an honorary doctorate from Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio, and that isn’t exactly illustrious company.
So it might be better for Colbert to go back to school and actually earn a doctorate, but we're just saying.

 

Har-dee har har.

 

Love the Daily Show.

Bored quickly by Colbert.
