Hello Nation, its your good friend and purveyor of Truth Stephen Colbert. For those of
you who think you know me....do you really know me? Well, here's a page out of the
history of my life.

I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina on James Island, the youngest of
eleven children in an Irish Catholic family. When I was 10 years old my father, who was a
doctor, and two of my older brothers, died in the crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 212 on
September 11, 1974.

I attended Charleston's exclusive Episcopalian Porter-Gaud School. I was formally educated
at Northwestern University's School of Speech, to which I transferred from Hampden-Sydney
College. I took acting classes at Northwestern; this choice was influenced by my mother
and a love of Bill Cosby. While there, I became involved in the improvisation troupe
ImprovOlympic. After college I went to work at Second City and participated in improv
classes there.[7] In 2006, I was awarded an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from Knox
College.

I am married to Evelyn McGee-Colbert, who appeared with me in Strangers with Candy. She
played a nurse (uncredited) in the series pilot, as well. We have three children, all of
whom have appeared on The Daily Show.

Were you paying attention? Good, because there WILL be a test.
