Colbert Report as “Paid Podcast” on iTunes (oh yeah, Jon Stewart, too)

TUAW reports on Comedy Central’s iTunes plan for Stephen Colbert:

You can buy a “multi-pass” for both The Colbert Report and The Daily Show for $9.99US. This gets you the current episode, and sets up iTunes to automatically download future episodes as they become available (up to 16 episodes). Think of it as a paid podcast.

This is enough to get me to throw down for a Video iPod.
