Stephen Colbert does one of the most hilarious tv shows ever \u2013 great social commentary. I have appreciated him for a long time, but nothing he\u2019s ever done moved me like this video. On his first show back after his mother\u2019s death, Colbert broke character for a moment to pay her tribute. He did a quick telling of her life-story with great humor and appreciation. It\u2019s really touching. To be as funny as Colbert it probably would take a mother who taught them to do stage-falls on the kitchen floor! He says that if you like the show, that\u2019s because of the great staff. \u201cIf you like me also?\u201d Colbert said, \u201cIt\u2019s because of my mom.\u201d It\u2019s great to see a moment of vulnerability from a world-class satirist. So, at the risk of being totally sentimental, listen to a great comedian say goodbye to his mother. Have a great Friday everyone!<\/p>\n
