🏡 A SOUTHERN BOY WITH BIG DREAMS!
Stephen Tyrone Colbert was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, as the youngest of eleven children. Although he eventually became famous for comedy, his original ambition was to become a dramatic actor.
🎭 FROM THE BOX OFFICE TO THE STAGE!
While working at Chicago’s famous Second City comedy theater in 1987, Colbert answered phones and sold merchandise in exchange for free improvisation classes. Those lessons helped launch his comedy career, eventually bringing him onto the stage alongside performers such as Steve Carell and Amy Sedaris.
📺 A CORRESPONDENT WITH COMIC TIMING!
Colbert joined Comedy Central’s The Daily Show in 1997, where his humorous reports and fictional television-personality character became audience favorites. His work as a correspondent and writer helped him earn recognition for his clever use of satire.
🎤 ONE HOST, ONE VERY BIG PERSONALITY!
In 2005, Colbert launched The Colbert Report, portraying an exaggerated television commentator who confidently delivered outrageous observations. The popular Comedy Central series ran through 2014 and received numerous honors, including Emmy and Peabody Awards.
🌙 ELEVEN YEARS OF LATE-NIGHT LAUGHTER!
Colbert succeeded David Letterman as host of CBS’s The Late Show on September 8, 2015, welcoming guests from entertainment, music, science, and public life. His final broadcast aired on May 21, 2026, concluding an eleven-year run and bringing the long-running Late Show franchise to a close.
📚 A CHILDREN’S BOOK THAT GAVE BACK!
Colbert’s 2018 picture book, Whose Boat Is This Boat?, became a number-one New York Times bestseller. Proceeds from the book supported people affected by Hurricanes Florence and Michael, turning a humorous publishing project into an opportunity to help others.
