On August 8, 2006, the Report debuted a series of three to four minute-long animated shorts entitled Stephen Colbert Presents: Stephen Colbert's Alpha Squad 7: The New Tek Jansen Adventures, allegedly in response to a lack of publisher interest in the novel. The entire first season of the short animations was included as bonus material on the 'Best of The Colbert Report' DVDs. Jansen is voiced by Colbert himself.
