Stephen Colbert is featured on the cover of the February/March 2015 issue of Irish America Magazine. The magazine also features the article ‘Stephen Colbert: One Last Report (It’s Genealogical)‘ by genealogist Megan Smolenyak who embarks on an ancestral tour of Stephen’s almost pure Irish roots.
Stephen’s ancestry was first looked at in depth back in 2010, when he was featured on the second episode of ‘Faces of America‘ with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. on PBS. Gates also wrote the accompanying book,’Faces of America: How 12 Extraordinary People Discovered their Pasts‘, which goes into more detail about the interviewees ancestry.
