Stephen Colbert Granted My Wish!

By Jacob, Junior Senior Correspondent

Hi, my name’s Jacob and I’m 9 and in August of 2007, the Make a Wish Foundation flew me to New York so that I could meet Stephen Colbert and everybody at the Colbert Report. When we got home, my Mom made a site just for the Make a Wish people and the Colbert Report people, and she sent it to a few people, and then, like, the whole Colbert Nation found out because it got on the No Fact Zone!


I became famous. Ok, well, for a little bit.


My Mom took down the site but I wanted to stay a little famous, like, forever and see if I could get my own page in Colbert University, so here’s some of the pictures of stuff that I got to see.

Me and Stephen hanging out.

My card to Stephen.



Stephen thanking me for coming.



I got to hang out with the graphics guys.



I got to sit at Stephen’s Desk!!



I got all sorts of stuff. I got, like, tons of stuff. Even two pack’s of Stephen’s gum! I haven’t chewed any of it. I just put it on a shelf with his picture.



I didn’t slip.



Maybe someday I’ll have my own show, but for now it was amazing to
sit in the chair and pretend that I was Stephen. And it was really great to meet him and everyone else. It was the coolest thing that ever happened to me.
