In a recent interview with Baristanet, executive producer Jonathan Alter revealed that Evelyn McGee-Colbert will have a small role in the season final of ‘Alpha House’.
We just finished shooting our season, episode 11 the beginning of last week. In our last episode, Stephen Colbert’s wife Evie has a small part; Stephen makes his own cameo in episode 2. We’ve been shooting our show in Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens and we re-created not just the townhouse the senators lives in, but the Russell office and the Senate floor on the sound stage.
Full Interview: Baristanet.
Gen Connect talks to CEO Charles Best about the impact of DonorsChoose, and how Stephen Colbert is one of the organizations most active cheerleaders, at the Aspen Ideas Festival.
Stephen Colbert is, according to Best, one of their hardest working board members. In addition to giving every guest who appears on “The Colbert Report” a DonorsChoose gift card, Colbert “has probably done about ten different campaigns, promotions, stunts, that have driven millions of dollars to classroom projects on our site,” Best says. “Everything from a philanthropic presidential straw poll to an armed forces ‘smack down’ to see who could support more military children.”
