A change occured to one of my favorite programs recently, a change I immediately disliked. And my negative opinion of the change has only grown more solid as the weeks have passed.

During the opening credits of The Colbert Report, there's a shower of words describing the illustrious host. Sometime in the last couple of months the final word, "GRIPPY," has been replaced with "MEGAMERICAN."

The latter seems kinda obvious and humdrum compared to the edgy oddness of the former. Plus, Stephen's expression as he points toward the word (not to be confused with "The Wørd") really doesn't match with the new entry, whereas before it synched up quite nicely.

Mr. Colbert, if you're listening out there, I implore you: bring back "GRIPPY!"
