Is it *really* sufficiently independently notable to justify a separate article? I mean, it's a nicely written article, but it reads like a review. I can't make it out. What am I missing?

The quote from Time asserting its notability did it for me. Genuine presidential satire in his company is rare as hens' teeth.

An article on the dinner itself I can understand, but this is a bit much.

Would you significantly reduce the material about this comedian in such an article? Why? I definitely learnt something worth learning while reading it. Sort of a demonstration that something must be notable if there is that much verifiable information about it, no?

I doubt I'd reduce the material, but I would restructure the article to be about the entire event, not just SC's appearance. Replace "Stephen Colbert" with "Ashlee Simpson" and you'll get an idea of why I feel uneasy about the article as is.

Ashlee Simpson did not satirize the President of the United States to his face on national television.

She's young, there's still time.
