That is one rather specific thing to remember. Night, did you get into the barrel of curry powder again?

Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".
Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

Because Colbert's voice does not sound Southern to me.

The only Southern accent I've ever heard him put on sounded sarcastic.

Perhaps that's his normal voice. Which is odd considering how he was born and raised in South Carolina.
The emphasis his family placed on intelligence and his observation of negative stereotypes of Southerners led Colbert to train himself to suppress his Southern accent while he was still quite young.

Ah, similar to how I usually use formal Hindi rather than street Marathi in conversation, or hos Crowley uses RP English instead of Cockney.

Because everyone in my generation sounds more like that than a regional accent; the power of television.

Regional accents have deflated into mere idiosyncrasies in the past few decades. They aren't dead, but most people in America speak the standard with little quirks.
Though the Deep South and Northeast still seem to tell the rest to fuck off.
Though you are right- for example, I cannot tell what the difference between a Pacific Northwestern/Northern Californian accent and a General American accent is. Perhaps its because I'm a foreigner, but I honestly cannot tell.
In New York City though, there's an accent still. A genuine regional accent, not just idiosyncrasies.

Of course, those areas have always had very strong accents. Not to mention that they themselves are well-represented on television; you'll find plenty of TV shows in New York, New Jersey, the South, New England, etc. but you aren't going to find shit set in Pittsburgh.
Even then, I think you'll find that accents have become uniform among such places. There is no such thing as a constant Southern accent, yet one has arisen on television and you'll find a few people who have begun to actually speak like that.
As for LA, given it's basis in the entertainment industry, it needs to be understood clearly. Thus, I think you'll find a lot of people speaking with a General there.

Reminds me of when people thought that British and American English would eventually split off into entirely different languages.
Then came mass telecommunications, just in time, allowing us to understand one another and allowing you to watch your BBC shows.
