J.R. "Bob" Dobbs == Stephen Colbert???
Is Stephen Colbert really the deincarnation of Subgenius icon J. R. "Bob" Dobbs? Decide for yourselves, or give yourself some slack and let someone else decide for you!
(Want proof? Check out this image from The Colbert Report! Doubt no more!)




Clearly I'm not the first one to notice the similarity:

Even stranger: Colbert just pseudo-announced that he's running for President last night on the Daily Show, mimicking the storyline of the movie "Man of the Year" in which a TV comedian runs for President. The guy's name: Tom DOBBS!!!!!

I've thought for a while that Colbert=Dobbs. I finally googled it to see if anyone else thought so. I wonder if anyone has approached Colbert to do a movie version of the Subgenius with him playing Bob.

Well, isn't "reality" (sic) a movie version "of the Subgenius" with Stephen Colbert as Bob? Or is that just wikiality?
