Stephen Colbert: Beyond Truthiness - Plot & Excerpts
You soon will be.”Colbert Nation is both larger and smaller than it seems. Larger because the nation Stephen Colbert addresses four nights a week has more viewers than ever. Smaller because Colbert Nation is geographically compact. Colbert can cross it in twenty minutes, and he does so each morning and evening.Stephen and Evie still live in upper-middle-class Montclair, New Jersey, where they moved in 2000. Their children attend Montclair public schools. Madeleine is approaching college age, John is starting high school, and Peter will soon head to middle school. None look much like their father, each having Evie’s brown hair and large eyes. Colbert does not let his children watch either The Daily Show or his own. “I truck in insincerity,” he told 60 Minutes. “With a very straight face, I say things I don’t believe. Kids can’t understand irony or sarcasm, and I don’t want them to perceive me as insincere.” The same contrast between Colbert on- and off-camera frequently catches Montclair residents off guard.
