You don't actually need any proxy to watch the Report outside of the US; I watch it and The Daily Show every day in Australia. It's a bit of a fiddle though, so bear with me.
Go to the Video Clip part of the Colbert website. You'll notice these show without any restricitons. Grab the embed code and copy it to an html file. Edit out the superfluous links and advertising until you only have the actual embed tags. Look for the parameter that says:
src='http:// media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:item:comedycentral.com:XXXXXX ' That XXXXXX is the magic number; replace that for every episode you want to watch.
Now, to get that number, browse to the Full Episode page for that ep and view the source. Look for the img tag that has the following parameters:
class="niagara_image" src="http:// niagara.comedycentral.com/register/comedycentral/episodes/265301" Take that six digit number (265301), copy-paste it in to the html document you created earlier and, voilą, free Colbert/Daily episodes wherever you are.
(to make it easier, I have a php script that accepts the number in a text box and then automatically displays the embedded video for me)
