Stephen Colbert just came on Late Night with David Letterman!

[Up2Late]

On in the East, that is.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

1. It's cool getting the personal side of Stephen, isn't it? nt

[SeattleGirl]

2. Just read a great article about him in Vanity Fair.

Did you know that two of his brothers and his dad were killed in a plane crash when Stephen was young? Really sad.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. I recall hearing about that, and it is tragic. His Mom was left with 9 children. :( nt

6. Yeah, he mentioned that during his interview he did on "Fresh Air" a few days ago...

...and the one before that too, I think.
