Stephen Colbert Buys 'TheSarahPalinChannel.com'

Stephen Colbert wants in on Sarah Palin's new pay-to-watch channel.

The former governor of Alaska recently launched her online subscription channel, which will cover "the ideas Washington doesn't want you to hear." Colbert, in his signature satirical way, poked fun at the idea on The Colbert Report.

Colbert mocked the Palin channel's $9.95 per month subscription cost, comparing it with Netflix's cheaper subscription model, adding, "It's just as good as House of Cards, with even more threatening monologues into camera."

After calling the Palin's online venture, "a safe space where like-minded folks can hear something they already agree with from someone whose opinion they already know," Colbert revealed his own new subscription channel, "Stephen Colbert's Angry Echo Chamber."

By the by, since customers can upload their own content, do they get some of those profits? I mean, isn't that what capitalism is all about?

Congrats on being engaged. Did you ever get the chicken pox vaccine? Yo, I'm living in Ebola territory...right outside the ATL.

Never got around to it. It's been a chaotic year and I like to live dangerously.

I should really get on that. Thanks for remembering!

Kidding....I live on the edge too which is why I think this whole Ebola thing is interesting.

My husband had to fly to Denver today (he flies all the time and internationally) and I was all like maybe you should wear a mask on the plane.

He rolled his eyes and said "It's not airborne!"
