Ok, I know many people don't like Stephen, but I for one think he's amazing.
Not only is he hysterical but he's genuinely a good guy. This is a man who came from a family of 11 children of which he is the youngest. From a very young age Stephen learned how to be funny, from his parents. He's dealt with family trauma after losing his father and two brothers in a plane accident. He's an amazing improv actor who can make any character he does very believable even playing himself. Stephen Colbert.
Stephen this past year broke his wrist and asked his audience and members of the Colbert Nation to buy "Wrist Strong" bracelets to promote wrist awareness. It was tongue in cheek but his audience went and did just that. What they didn't know was that proceeds would go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund to help soldiers who were back from Iraq and healing from their wounds.
This man has a heart of gold and truly cares about his country. Regardless that he plays a right wing nut the real Stephen Colbert really cares about his country and the men and women who are currently serving overseas. Not only did he create a bracelet craze he also created an ice cream one as well. In 2007 Ben and Jerry's Ice cream unveiled "Stephen Colbert Americone Dream" ice cream for the public to buy. Again a percentage of the proceeds would go to charity. Not only is it sweet that he get an ice cream flavor but it's sweet he's helping those in need. Isn't that what sweet means?
