Stephen Colbert, awesome dude extraordinaire, has just upped his cool factor even more. (Was that even possible?)
The irrepressible star of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” has added his voice to the It Gets Better Project, making him the latest in a long line of celebs to let LGBT kids know that their lives may be filled with taunts and bullies right now, but things do get better.
What adds a special poignancy to Colbert’s video is the fact that he stepped out of his blustery TV persona to do it. He rarely appears on camera as himself, but apparently felt this cause was important enough to do it.
Stephen Colbert made a laughingstock — literally — of the United States Congress on Friday, mocking lawmakers to their faces in formal testimony before a House subcommittee on immigration.
The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart will hold a rally on the National Mall next month designed to “restore sanity” as his Comedy Central partner Stephen Colbert holds an opposing march to “Keep Fear Alive.”
The satirist made the announcement on his show Thursday, hot on the heels of the Aug. 28 “Restoring Honor Rally” on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. That controversial gathering was hosted by FOX News personality Glenn Beck and attended by thousands of his supporters.
Stewart and Colbert will join together for their own opposing events.
