Stephen Colbert Career
In 1988, Colbert started his career by taking some free improvisation classes. In 1995, he left Second City and moved to New York to work with Sedaris and Dinello on a comedy show for TV called “Exit 57.” Even though the show got good reviews, it only had 12 episodes.
In 1996, he worked on “The Dana Carvey Show” as a cast member and writer, along with Steve Carell, Robert Smigel, and Dino Stamatopoulos. However, the show was canceled because the satire was not funny. Colbert, along with Sedaris and Dinello worked on a new comedy serial, Strangers with Candy, for Comedy Central. Characterized as a cult show, its 32 episodes were aired between 1999 and 2000.
At the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in 2006 as the featured entertainer, his satire targeted President Bush and the media. He shocked the audience to silence but became an internet and media sensation. In 2007, he published I Am America (And So Can You! ), a book containing political satire written primarily by him, with only a minor contribution from his writing staff.
