Well, before he was throwing jabs at politicians he was just your average college student. Except he wasn't average at all, HE WAS A TOTAL BABE!!!
I know, it's a lot to process. But don't scrape your jaw off the floor just yet. I have even more pictures for your viewing pleasure.
Here we have Stephen Colbert rocking a scarf harder than anyone this world has ever known.
And now Stephen Colbert looking dapper as all get-out with a bow tie.
And finally here is Daddy — I mean Stephen Colbert — totally giving off some young Robert Downey Jr. vibes.
While young Stephen Colbert is unquestionably a babe, if I'm being completely honest with myself, I still think he's fine as hell.
I mean just look at what the man can do with a lollipop.
Now, before you flock to the internet to see if he's single, he is definitely not available. He and his wife, Evelyn McGee-Colbert, have been together for almost 25 years and they're absolutely adorable together.
Well that's about it. Excuse me while I go print out a picture of young Stephen Colbert to frame and hang next to my desk.
