Still from "Faces of America," Stephen Colbert and Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Kolo Newport photo album.
How cool is it that the family photo album on Stephen Colbert's coffee table is a Kolo Newport.
It’s presented to the political satirist by Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., on the PBS mini-series, “Faces of America,” which airs tonight (Wednesday, March 3, 2010) in most U.S. markets at 8 p.m. (but check your local listings).
Colbert’s archival Kolo Newport contains illuminating information about his forebears. This is Steve Colbert as we rarely see him; not in character, just being himself. He explains his curiosity about his ancestral roots:
"It’s so great to know what they went through, that I should exist."
He recalls a moment he was overcome with respect for Irish immigrant ancestors’ sacrifice, the hardship they faced to make it in the “New World,” most of them to escape Ireland’s Great Famine. It hit him once on his way to the theater, as he was crossing the Erie Canal:
"I looked to my right and I saw this line just shooting off into almost infinite distance up ahead of me. And I thought… THAT, I know, helped bring my ancestors over here. That’s what kept them alive, was work in that pit. That ditch right there is part of my legacy as an American."
Tune into PBS tonight for Colbert's and many other famous Americans' interesting ancestral stories.

To get around the IOC's draconian licensing rules, The Colbert Report called its Vancouver 2010 Olympic shows: "Exclusive Vancouverage of the 2010/Quadrennial Cold Weather Athletic Competition/Defeat the World! " It's very similar to what LuluLemon called its non-authorized clothing line: "Cool Sporting Event That Takes Place in British Columbia Between 2009 & 2011 Edition"
