Stephen Colbert

Before becoming a late-night talk show host on CBS, Stephen worked for The Dana Carvey Show as a writer and cast member, Good Morning America’s correspondent, and as part of the cast of The Daily Show. Later, he got the chance to have a show with his name on the title The Colbert Report. He hosted the said program from 2005 to 2014.

Colbert’s comeback on television was monumental for his career, for he was hired to host The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, to compete with programs with the same format Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. As of September 2021, the program is still airing new episodes despite the difficulties that the production faces due to the ongoing pandemic. Consequently, his excellence is often recognized by various award-giving bodies. He has nine Primetime Emmy Awards, three Peabody Awards, and two Grammy Awards to his credit.
