Dr. Stephen Colbert, the host of the show, has suggested that the bump is "good for at least a couple of points." Findings, however, show that the bump raises the poll numbers for political candidate by no fewer than 10 points. This was first evidenced in the 2006 midterm elections. Being on The Colbert Report increases book sales by 10 times on average. Statistics are currently unavailable for The Bump's influence on box office results or chart position/sales numbers for music.
