Almost a year ago, a team of students took up ‘The Super PAC Super Fun Pack Treasure Hunt’ challenge, documenting their journey’s as they cracked the clues and hunted for treasure, the grand prize, apart from making a lot of pirates very jealous was, a visit from Stephen Colbert.

It has been a long wait for the students at the University of Pittsburgh, but Stephen Colbert finally appeared before excited an excited crowd at Carnegie Hall on Friday, April 19th. After being given a custom Pitt Jersey and hat, Stephen opened by reading a selection of topics from ‘America Again’, including getting a job, Wall Street, food and Matthew McConaughey.

Every weekday night, Stephen Colbert dons a Brooks Brothers suit and tie for his Comedy Central show, “The Colbert Report.” The brand, which makes much of its clothing in the U.S., is a good fit for Colbert’s satirical character, a self-important, right-wing political pundit. The specialty retailer has dressed the comedian for the show since 2006, and even created a camouflage version of its Fitzgerald suit for Colbert’s 2009 USO tour in Iraq.

On Friday, Brooks Bros. hosted a book launch party at its Madison Avenue flagship for Colbert’s new tome, “America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren’t” (Grand Central Publishing; $28.99). In the liberally illustrated book, Colbert and his team of writers riff on all of this year’s hot-button election issues, from Obamacare and Citizens United to hydraulic fracking and corn subsidies.

Among those at the Brooks Bros. fete were Arianna Huffington, Monika Chiang, Dan Abrams, David Zinczenko and Lisa Birnbach, who noshed on all-American snacks like mini chicken pot pies, macaroni-and-cheese bites, apple pie and chocolate-chip cookies. Colbert toasted the attendees at one point from atop a prop vintage suitcase.

During a frenzied book-promotion schedule that included appearances on the “Late Show With David Letterman,” “Good Morning America,” NPR’s “Fresh Air” and “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” Colbert chatted with WWD about Mitt Romney’s hair, Rachel Maddow’s bust and his take on Dior versus Saint Laurent.
