Rumors swirling about Stephen Colbert and his face injury
Posted by: | CommentsOur friends over at Videogum have dished, quietly, that it’s possible that the face violence may have occurred on a boat. Or, you know, not.
But I think the speculation is much more fun than the truth, don’t you? According to someone in the audience, Stephen Colbert said during today’s pre-show Q&A that it was bad clams that were so bad they were breaking out of his face. Then he said that he had a bad headache and his son hit him in the head with a sword and his daughter arose out of it, referencing the creation of Athena I believe.
I don’t care how it happened, as long as his face gets better soon.

Stephen celebrated the one-year anniversary of WristStrong (how convenient!) and blamed his face-bustedness on a vow he made to never again break a fall with his hands:

I know some people at Comedy Central so I asked them what the gossip was around the office, and they all came back with similar versions of the same shocking story …
EDITED TO ADD: All kidding aside, check out comment 12 to this post. Hope everything’s back to normal soon, Stephen!

Posted by: | CommentsStephen Colbert seems to have really done a number on his face when he appeared on this evening’s edition of The Colbert Report.

Poor Stephen. In all seriousness, I really want to wish him a speedy recovery. That looks painful as hell.

Just FYI, those aren’t shadows under his eyes, those are shiners. Ouch!
