[edit] Rationale of fair use for Stephen Colbert

The image is a publicity still made available by Comedy Central at the network's "Press Central" website[http://www.comedycentral.com/press/index.jhtml, as part of a digital press kit for The Colbert Report intended for wide distribution.
The image is intended to represent the subject in arguably his most well-known and widely-seen role as of writing. Its inclusion in the article is important because it represents a significant point in the subject's career that is discussed extensively in the article.
No free or public domain images have been located which adequately illustrate the point in the subject's career that is discussed in the accompanying text;
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the television series in any way.
The image and ones similar to it are used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original television series in any way.
