Stephen Colbert
Stephen Tyrone Colbert (born May 13, 1964) is a comedian, writer, producer, political commentator, actor, and television host from the United States. From 2005 to 2014, he hosted the satirical Comedy Central program The Colbert Report, and beginning in September 2015, he hosted the CBS talk show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Colbert trained as a dramatic actor before discovering improvisational theater at Northwestern University, where he met Second City director Del Close. Colbert began his professional career as an understudy for Steve Carell at Second City Chicago, where he met Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris, with whom he co-created the sketch comedy series Exit 57. He wrote and performed on The Dana Carvey Show before returning to Strangers with Candy to work with Sedaris and Dinello. He rose to prominence for his role on the latter as openly gay history teacher Chuck Noblet.
Colbert rose to prominence as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s news-parody series The Daily Show. He left The Daily Show in 2005 to host The Colbert Report. The Colbert Report was a parody of personality-driven political opinion shows such as The O’Reilly Factor, in which he portrayed a caricatured version of conservative political pundits, earning Colbert an invitation to perform as featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in 2006, which he did in character.
This occurrence resulted in the series becoming one of Comedy Central’s highest-rated shows. Following the conclusion of The Colbert Report, he was hired in 2015 to succeed retiring David Letterman as host of CBS’s Late Show. In September 2017, he hosted the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Colbert has received nine Primetime Emmys, two Grammys, and three Peabody Awards. In 2006 and 2012, Colbert was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People. In 2007, Colbert’s book I Am America (And So Can You!) debuted at the top of The New York Times Best Seller list.
