Comedy Central's wildly popular political talk shows are now available on the NBC-News Corp. joint video venture, but it doesn't appear to be a broader Viacom deal yet.

Bringing the Colbert Report and the Jon Stewart show to Hulu was a great move. It's about time Comedy Central shied away from it's online home. The site was cumbersome and getting a bit outdated. Hulu.com on the other hand has one of the cleanest user interfaces on the web today. In fact people at Hulut told us other sites are starting to copy their design and ui. Of course without their content, now including the Colbert Report, people can copy their design all they want. Users should continue to flock to this site for its ease of use and extensive show library.

On a side note: Hulu still does not have full length movies. If Hulu ever does acquire movies they would put a lot of fear into some of the current online companies who base their models on pay-per-play viewing. One can only guess if and when this will happen.

As a major fan of the show, I wonder how much of the revenue from ad supported streaming the writers will see.... I walked the picket line with these guys and, I have a feeling they are gonna get screwed. Also, access is blocked to viewers from Canada. way to go.
