If you've ever wondered how Discovery could carry on the highly entertaining reality series 'PitchMen' without the highly electric personality of the late Billy Mays, you're about to get your answer.

The second season of the Discovery Channel series will begin on Aug. 21 starring the other "pitchman," Andrew "Sully" Sullivan.

'PitchMen' will pick up where the first season left off, with our intrepid infomercial maverick traveling the country looking for new and exciting products to sell insomniacs and soap opera watchers around the world. Sadly, he'll be doing it without his old partner in crime. Mays passed away last year after suffering a heart-attack, and an autopsy would later reveal that he had cocaine in his system at the time of his death.

Without a doubt, the Colbert Nation was relieved and excited to have their favorite faux-Stephen Colbert back on the air, even if it was in the form of The ColberT ReporT (hard T's means it's a different sort of show without the writers, folks). The in-studio audience made their feelings evident through an obnoxiously long ovation that ended up running the first airing past midnight and into 12:05AM. TiVos around the nation were heard weeping at that moment. All subsequent airings cut out a huge chunk of the ovation and replaced it with big, bold, white text saying, "TWO MINUTES LATER".

So, for those of you who missed it, the audience wouldn't shut up, Colbert tried to politely quiet them down, that didn't work, Colbert actually walked into the audience and forcibly pushed a few people back into their seats. Scarily enough, that only sort of, kind of worked. The man could have ran in there, slit the throats of everyone in the first row, and the audience would have continued cheering like he was firing t-shirts into the crowd. Either people were desperate to have Colbert back, or the Colbert Nation has continued rapidly slipping into cult country.
