Should this world ever cease to exist, Stephen Colbert will live on. The comedian's DNA will be digitized and sent to the International Space Station, Comedy Central was to announce Monday. In October, video game designer Richard Garriott will travel to the station and deposit Colbert's genes for an "Immortality Drive."

"I am thrilled to have my DNA shot into space, as this brings me one step closer to my lifelong dream of being the baby at the end of 2001," Colbert said in a statement, referring to the 1968 landmark science fiction film "2001: A Space Odyssey."

Garriott, one of few private citizens to travel into space, is collecting material for a time capsule of human DNA, a history of humanity's greatest achievements and personal messages.
The host of "The Colbert Report" will essentially be preserved so that aliens can clone him.

"In the unlikely event that Earth and humanity are destroyed, mankind can be resurrected with Stephen Colbert's DNA," Garriott said in a statement. "Is there a better person for us to turn to for this high-level responsibility?"

    Thank God!

    Stephen Colbert is proof that you can do anything you put your mind to.

    Or at least, you can do anything that you put the Colbert Nation's (singular) mind to.

    I love stephen, but I hope Noam Chomsky's DNA is getting sent up there too.

    What if the aliens who find him, clone him over and over and Colbert becomes their new organic exotic livestock? There could be video that expose how cruelly the Colberts were being treated and the strange spreading threat of "mad-Colbert disease." The Colbert Industry could sue those who exposed their horrobible behavior and just continue to over breed, and warp, and torture Steven Colbert until the end of their societies' existence. Hopefully they too will shoot DNA into space and so on and so on so that Colbert can out live any other human by millions of years. <br>I think it should have been Jon Stewart :)

    That's the genius of Stephen Colbert he's always blazing the trail for untapped markets and finding new ways to sell his Formula 401

    He boldy goes where no one has come before

    I think that Stephen Colbert should be the only person in the world that is allowed to kill people, as long as it is done in a way that makes people that he kills laugh and they are deserving.

    I am guessing Bill O'Reilly will be next. A better idea would be the entire Current TV staff.

    I love how Bill Oreily thinks of himself even as he's torn to bits by Colbert, but not as much as how John Stewart tore into Geraldo Rivera..
