Colbert is a personality who has always proclaimed his Christian faith. As such, I think he is a better example and witness of Christianity than a sword wielding pastor who I think just makes Christianity look a little bit nutty.

Good grief. If you don't like Colbert's show, don't watch it. No need for swords.

Note, by the way, that the Christian Post article says: "While identifying as a Roman Catholic earlier in his career, Colbert..." However, to my knowledge, Colbert is still an active Catholic Christian. Some of his best episodes on the air have been when he has talked about religion.

Does that only apply to pastors?

Eh, maybe you have a point. Following my own advice, if I don't enjoy Kent Christmas' YouTube show, I can go find my entertainment somewhere else.
