Colbert To Broadcast From Iraq!
Filed under: TV News > Stephen Colbert
As Stephen Colbert puts it, he will be "Bob Hoping" for the troops in Iraq.
The first time anyone has ever broadcast from Iraq for a USO tour, Colbert will tape a series of shows next week in front of a live audience of about 450 soldiers dubbed "Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando."
Both Colbert and his right wing character believe in supporting the troops, and said he feels a certain responsibility to remind the public about the "people [who] are struggling through the things that I sometimes make jokes about."
We think that's pretty honorable of Colbert to do!

twitter cinaaadoll
you know whats not honorable? outing his location and time of taping that he's been trying to keep under his hat for weeks for his own safety at the suggestion of the US government. WAY TO FUCK UP MARIO
He has a wonky ear.
This will be funny….
i love colbert
I hope he doesn't insult the troops with his brand of humor.
OMG, I love Colbert. Too bad my husband will be in Afghanistan instead.
Who cares about outing his location? He is gonna be on a FOB - probably the green zone. No biggie there - good lord
The troops are pretty sturdy as a whole, not easily offended. Anyone who takes time to go see them is doing a great thing. My husband has been multiple times, and always appreciates the efforts of those who come to entertain them while in battle.
why is he wearing an autism pin?
Re: BeNiceYall – O right, bc an army wife knows way more about the conditions than the officers who have been there and gave him the instructions. ha
Re: beatrixkiddo99 – you can see this background he was attending an autism awareness event
Steve is the man!!!! tat is honorable….
Stooooooooop!!! Colbert outed himself with his commercials SAYING he's going to Iraq…
Colbert right wing? You've got to be kidding.

Colbert is a comic genius!!
That's awesome! Hopefully they'll do one at the FOB my husband lives at.
Every time someone famous makes an appearance over there he's always out on patrols.

Re: MichLuv – The officers are always the last to know. And yes, most military wives are more up on events than the brass.
XXO to the Cav.

It's a decent thing to do. Maybe there's a little conservative in him after all. We can only hope!
