For other fans, "Doctor Who" is perfectly fine to use to refer to the character, especially since MOST of the actors who played the character refer to him as such, most notably Colin Baker. Who in the two movies released in The '60s, but those were clearly an Alternate Continuity. Who, a name retained in the credits and internal documentation for over 20 years, even though the character was never called that on-screen except in Mythology Gags note For example, one character introduces him as "The Doctor", then the other says, "Doctor who?", and in one episode the Doctor uses the alias "Doktor von Wer" and in another calls himself "The Great Wizard Quiquaequod" - German and Latin for "who" respectively, once by accident - a scriptwriter had had a computer ask in dialogue "Where is Doctor Who?" and it was not corrected, and once in a deliberate trolling of the fanbase by Steven Moffat (and even then, he insisted it wasn't his name). The origin, as noted on the main Doctor Who page, is that the character's name during the show's development was originally Dr. Who is not going to ingratiate you with some of the fanbase. Referring to everyone's favourite Time Lord as "Doctor Who" or the show as Dr.The Daily Show with John Stewart is not a thing. ![]() Pronouncing the T in "Colbert" will cause similar levels of rage (though incidentally, in real life his last name IS pronounced with a T, he just had it left silent for the show's character, and it stuck with him even after he moved to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert which is actual Stephen Colbert, not the Colbert Show character). There is no such person as " Steven Colbert".
