Stephen Colbert
…Has the best job ever. Be sarcastic all day long? Mess with people who are stupid enough to take your persona seriously? Whilst that does sound rather familiar (I’m cute and harmless!), it would be nice to have that actually be in my job description and get paid for it.
You know when Stephen first approached Comedy Central he was all like, “I’m going to be bombastic and awesome! And have an interspace treadmill named after me!”
Who knew that channeling one’s own inner fourth-grader could be so darn advantageous? How can I get in on this?
(p.s.-I once met Stephen. Well, I mean, he passed me in a hallway and made eye contact while I stood, frozen and starstruck. He cuts a rather strapping figure in real life…)
