I’m hearing from multiple news sources that CNN is broadcasting a clip of Stephen Colbert speaking to a graduating class of servicemen – with a buzzcut!

Here’s a screencap – Video and story to be posted soon.

At first I was a little sad, with his gorgeous hair and all, but now I realize that’s the fangirl being selfish. It’s for the troops! That’s what matters. We’re all proud of you Stephen!

Oh my dear Lord. I’ll admit that I’m a bit upset. I really, really don’t like the way buzz cuts look on guys. :( But that’s really brave of him and it’s for the troops. Go, Stephen!

Noooooooo! That beautiful head of hair. Sigh…
Cat’s right. That’s really showing solidarity with the troops. However, that head of hair better grow back fast for the fangirls:) Of course, I love him no matter what, but I love him more with a head of hair.
Well, I guess we can now see the reason for the Newsweek cover. They were being literal!

Yeah, that video is probably filmed a few days ago. Maybe his hair has already grown back!

Oh no, his pretty hair… *sniff*
But what better way to show solidarity with the troops than to go through that ritual? What an awesome thing to do.

I figured that when I saw the Newsweek cover shot. My vote is that he let’s it grow back in natural. And you know whenever I vote that makes it UNANIMOUS!
gray is good on

I know Stephen is doing this for a cause, but I don’t like his new look. That hair better grow back fast!

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t dye his hair, you know. In other appearances, it’s always clear that he’s graying a little at the temples. Visible on the show, too, it’s just that the shininess of the gel masks it. For example, here’s a photo pre-buzz cut, where there’s lots of grey visible. No dye there!
We love him just the way he is :)

I saw it too! I had just posted to the TCR lj community and am now trying to find proof so people don’t think I’m crazy…I’m sending messages to CNN Newsroom (that was the program) and everything. I hope they post the video.

LMAO… Since I’m not a fangirl, I think this is hilarious. In one of my previous comments, I said imagine if he cut his hair. I really did not mean to tell him too! Anyone have pictures of him pre-daily show with little hair? I can’t remember Stephen not have his little comb over.
Remember in the Charlie Rose interview where he talked about his purposeful disconnect with the southern identity, from his voice to his hair style? Well I think he just threw all the rules out of the book =p Next thing we know he’s gonna be talkin’ like a southerner, heh.

OMG! Well, I can totally believe that he would do that. Kind of like when Jo cuts off her “one beauty” in Little Women, and the family is sad but proud.
We’re so proud of you, Stephen. And, hey, hair will always grow back. I know from experience w/ bad haircuts. :-)
These are gonna be some kick @$$ shows! And thanks to the soldier who posted a pic from the set!

Ahhh! What?! That hair, that pillowy hair. I’m going to miss it…
Oh well… It’s a nice gesture for the troops.

I was bummed at first, but now that I see the screencap? He pulls it off. Sexy knows no boundaries.

My thoughts exactly. I didn’t know I had A Thing for buzzcuts, but apparently I do. o.O Or at least when they’re on a certain wonky-eared fake pundit.
Shout Out (Hey!):

Me too. I was a little shocked at first, but it’s actually pretty hot. Besides, 1) it’ll grow back, and 2) it’s for the troops (which makes it even hotter).

Do we know anyone who can sell the newly cut hair on ebay–it would make a killing and fund this site for a long time!!!
I think he may be adorable in any cut!
Shout Out (Hey!):

Ah wow! I think it looks awesome, can’t wait for this week of shows!!

Oh wow. I will look forward to these shows.
And seeing the buzz cut in person on the 18th.

Geez, I go out for dinner, and all this goes down!
I’m terribly impressed; Stephen, thank you so much for everything you’re doing to support these troops and boost their morale. They certainly deserve it. Way to go, gang!

When I first learned of the news I yelled, “Nooooo!”, and then thought what an awesome gesture of solidarity that was. Then I saw the screencaps and video and have decided it is indeed hot. I will miss that lovely hair of his until it grows back though.
Shout Out (Hey!):

Yes. Yes…yes yes. I love it……so much! I’m really surprised because I was not expecting it to look good at all, but it’s nice to get away from the newsman look for a while, shirt included. Plus the cut excentuates the wonky ear. Beautimous, and a ballsy move. I say yes yes yes, and yes some more, and I can’t WAIT to see more of it! YES! =D

How can this man make a men’s hairstyle I absolutely detest look so good? I just don’t understand it!
Stephen, you da man! I can’t wait for the show tomorrow.

Stephen,What did you do! That beautiful head of hair, but hey it is for the troops and I have one it will grow back thicker and quicky.
Shout Out (Hey!):

Wow! I’m actually not that surprised he did it, because of the sort of challenge set to him by a marine reservist in the audience a couple weeks ago.
Like others have mentioned, it is a great show of solidarity.
It’s just a happy bonus for fangirls that it turned out so nicely!

His beautiful hair!!! I know how hard it is to cut ones hair off. I just chopped mine off but three days ago to donate to Locks of Love…I feel like Stephen is making a similar contribution by showing how much he supports our troops. I just hope it grows back by August 3rd, the day I have tickets for the show! I wonder what it will look like growing back in…My mom thinks he’ll spike it at least once =P

Oh my God…I didn’t even think of him spiking it! That might be something to see…

How courageous and generous – what an absolutely wonderful gesture in support of the troops, Stephen, really funny but also “sacrificing” (perhaps too strong; sounding too Catholic) – maybe better to say “giving up something valued”(?) to make our troops laugh, have a good time, enjoy themselves- how fantastic!

In regards to Stephen’s hair… ::holds up fist, shakes it and yells, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!::
However, I know it was an order from Obama and for the troops, and it is hair, after all, it will grow back… but I love him so much more with those beautiful full slicked back black locks of love! ;)
