In 2010, while in character, Colbert appeared before judiciary subcommittee hearing on the issue of farm workers and [[immigration]].<ref name="congress">{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/stephen-colbert-asked-testify-immigration/story?id=11717624|title=Stephen Colbert Takes On Congress, Sarcastically Argues for Farm Workers|last=Jaffe|first=Matthew|publisher=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]|date=September 24, 2010|access-date=December 10, 2014|archive-date=December 21, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141221042334/http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/stephen-colbert-asked-testify-immigration/story?id=11717624|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[The New Yorker]]'' used Colbert's testimony before Congress as an example of the "third" Colbert: "Colbert was thoughtful and sincere—and had ruined the whole thing.

In a 2009 academic analysis of the show's popularity, [[Temple University]] researcher, Heather LaMarre found that the show appealed to both liberals and conservatives, concluding, "there was no significant difference between the groups in thinking Colbert was funny, but conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements".<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=LaMarre|first1=Heather L.|last2=Landreville|first2=Kristen D.|last3=Beam|first3=Michael A.|doi=10.1177/1940161208330904|title=The Irony of Satire: Political Ideology and the Motivation to See What You Want to See in The Colbert Report|journal=[[The International Journal of Press/Politics]]|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1940161208330904|volume=14|issue=2|pages=212–231|year=2009|citeseerx=10.1.1.505.250|s2cid=18210532|access-date=November 7, 2020|archive-date=November 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108091330/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1940161208330904|url-status=live |issn = 1940-1612 }}</ref> [[Malcolm Gladwell]] discussed LaMarre's findings in his ''Revisionist History'' podcast, "The Satire Paradox" (2016).<ref>Malcolm Gladwell, [https://blog.simonsays.ai/satire-paradox-with-malcolm-gladwell-s2-e10-revisionist-history-podcast-transcript-37119b0bf8ae "The Satire Paradox"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230308050355/https://www.simonsaysai.com/blog/satire-paradox-with-malcolm-gladwell-s2-e10-revisionist-history-podcast-transcript-37119b0bf8ae |date=March 8, 2023 }} (Transcript), Simon Says.

Several international markets also air ''The Colbert Report Global Edition'', which shows highlights from the previous week's shows and includes a special introduction by Stephen Colbert at the start of the program. This means a new or newly repackaged episode can be screened every weekday.
In addition, most recent episodes (usually 3 weeks back) would be available in full length on colbertnation.com. Some international audiences could not see such way. By the end of the series's run, the colbernation.com website was integrated into Comedy Central's website. As of 2021, almost seven years after the show ended, many episodes are presented in individual clips there.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Colbert Report
