Apparently only five percent of fans of 'The Colbert Report' (weeknights, 11:30PM ET on COM) are African American. But PK Winsome (aka Tim Meadows) has the solution for getting those numbers up."PK You Buggin!" said Meadows, and the words appeared in a handy logo at the bottom of the screen. "On any show with no black people, I replace the network bug in the corner of the screen with an image of myself appearing to be interested in the show."
A clip from Fox News served as a helpful example. Then there was his other fix: the "inflatable rating booster -- Nielsen Mandela." However, there was an, um, issue with the blow-up doll that required a bit of censorship. As Meadows described it to Stephen Colbert: "Look how happy he is to see you, man!"
