"While Colbert sometimes comedically claims his surname is French"
Yes, it's a French origin name. Norman. And I believe it was a surname and a name.

Shouldn't "troupe mates" be one word?
Thanks.

Which of these signatures should be used in the article?
I prefer the one which is almost on the same line, and not on two lines. (t) Josve05a (c) 06:23, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Stephen Colbert wrote a book with his staff called, Stephen Colbert's Midnight Confessions published in 2017. Here’s the source: [1] 74.85.17.144 (talk) 02:26, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
A reader suggested ticket:2018111710003796 that his mother should be added to the article. I note that the early life section mentions his father but not his mother. The article about his father James William Colbert Jr. does mention his mother, Lorna Elizabeth Tuck, along with the source, so it should be easy to incorporate.S Philbrick(Talk) 13:21, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
In his conservation with Sandra Bullock yesterday, Colbert started talking a bit in German, thereby referring to his mother who "spoke German at home". I don't fully understand why, as she does not seem to be a first-generation migrant. Or did I misunderstand that in the text? Is the mother actually from Germany? 80.71.142.166 (talk) 06:25, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

It states that the ISS is to be retired in 2020. I believe that date to be 2030. 2001:569:76CA:4200:B08D:BAB3:4BC8:BF1D (talk) 01:49, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
Colbert is unstoppable, but at 160K the article is waaaay overlarge per Wikipedia:Article size, namely
This is especially egregious considering Stephen Colbert (character) also exists, another 78K.
Being as W'pedia isn't an appropriate space for details of primary interest to fans, there's a simple heuristic: either
OR
Writing such as this would be fine in a blog, or as a published essay, but Wikipedia is neither a blog nor a magazine. At very least, consideration must be given as to what can be removed (as redundant with Stephen Colbert (character), perhaps) because I cannot figure out what else could be a stand-alone article. Seeing as so many hands have contributed, but have not seen fit to actually edit, it's perhaps overdue to remove entirely unsourced passages, e.g. the Noblet/Jellineck gag. And if an article about a subtopic already thrives (e.g. The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert presidential campaign, 2008) there's no need for any depth and in fact it'd likely be better as a See also.

According to the town's tax records Colbert and his wife haven't live in Montclair for 11 years (Property was sold on 09/02/08). I would like to change this information but the only reference that I have would invade the privacy of the new owner and I can't seem to find where Colbert and his wife live now. Any suggestions on how I should handle this edit. YborCityJohn (talk) 15:04, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
I would like to edit all the references to "Catholic" and change them to "Roman Catholic".
"youngest of 11 children in a Roman Catholic family."
"...taught their children that it was possible to question the church and still be Roman Catholic."
"...knowledge of Roman Catholicism, science fiction..."
Roman Catholics are not the only Catholics. Anglicans and Anglo-Catholics also consider themselves to be Catholic, and are Catholic. When you mean Roman Catholic, it's best to say so.
the final reference is already correct: "Colbert is a practicing Roman Catholic and used to teach Sunday school"
Thanks for considering this.

Dixon, Chris (26 September 2008). "Writing Her Way Home". The New York Times. (Dorothea Benton Frank) ""I saw a guy and said, 'Are y'all supposed to be here?' " Mr. Blanchard said. "He turned around and it was Stephen Colbert." A Charleston native, Mr. Colbert is a neighbor of the Franks both on Sullivan's Island and in Montclair, and they had invited him to use the pool. "He's a darling," Ms. Frank said. "His wife's darling and his kids are darling. Just a really nice family.""

The first sentence of the second paragraph under Personal Life reads, "Colbert has been married to Evelyn "Evie" McGee-Colbert since 1993." I would like to add their anniversary so that it reads, "Colbert has been married to Evelyn "Evie" McGee-Colbert since October 28, 1993."
She mentioned their anniversary in the February 14, 2021 airing of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It is at 1:56 in the video clip.
