Stephen Colbert Auctions TV Desk, Uses $800K to Fund SC Teachers

This is a tad bit old but I thought to share

 

 

For nearly a decade, Stephen Colbert sat at a desk hosting his amusing late night talk-show on the cable channel Comedy Central. Though many don’t agree with his politics, everyone is talking about his latest contribution to education in his home state.

He’s using the money raised from auctioning that desk to help fulfill every grant request made by South Carolina public school teachers.

The donation of $800,000 will fund nearly 1,000 projects in more than 375 schools.

His "politics"? They do realize that the Colbert Report was a parody/comedy show, right?

I loved his show and love him. He is funny as **** and such a nice guy. 

We need more people like him.

​Indeed. He actually helps instead of talks.
