Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert was raised in a small, rural town in South Carolina but after a terrible family loss, they relocated to Connecticut. When Colbert was 10 years old, his father and 15-year-old and 18-year-old brothers were killed when Eastern Airlines Flight 212 crashed into a cornfield in North Carolina. After their deaths, the family moved to a more urban town and Colbert confessed he struggled to make friends. He has no problems making friends now and is set to take over hosting duties at the “Late Show” when David Letterman retires later this year.
