There are not a lot of folk who get to do what truly makes them happy. Fewer yet actually enjoy their work AND get to bring smiles to others in the process. Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, is one of the lucky ones. Every evening we are graced by his brilliant political humor. Every night the love for his craft emanates through. It doesn’t matter what side of the political fence you are on, you can appreciate the satire because, quite simply, you LIKE Stephen.
Wednesday Stephen informed his viewers that his mother passed away a week ago (at the age of 92). He delivered a heartfelt but still jovial tribute to her with kind words and photos. Stephen made it quite clear that Lorna Colbert cared deeply for all of her 11 children and did so with great joy. So it comes as no surprise that Stephen Colbert has turned out to be the fine person he is. He had the best teacher.
Mentions: Our deepest sympathies go out to Stephen and his family.
