Stephen Colbert and The FEC

We're back! This week we're delving into the life and times of Stephen Tyrone Colbert. We talk about his comedy background, his relationship with Nicki Minaj, and that one time he starred in a Nora Ephron movie. We also narrate a short history of campaign finance reform in the US, and how Colbert, through his Super PAC (Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow), gave America a civics lesson that was worthy of a Peabody Award. 

Further Reading:

  • Stephen Colbert 1997 'GMA' Report (YouTube)
  • The Nicki Minaj Interview with Stephen Colbert (YouTube)
  • John McCain’s signature campaign finance law was a real achievement — for its time by Mark Schmitt (Vox)
