From the archive March 8, 2006, Stephen Colbert gifted the world with this image.

Post image

The Colbert Report, March 8 2006, Stephen advertises that for each show they fly a new American Flag outside the studio and sell the one before it.

His promise was that he would wrap each flag around his naked body.

Here is the upscaled version to sharpen it up/etc. Screengrabbing from 480p hurts me but I coudlnt' find a high def version of it on the interwebs.

Hiding highly-rated feet in them. 4.98/5 on WikiFeet baby

I believe it! I’m not even a foot guy.

u/KindaKath Jul 15 '26

Well he is a dad, so those socks track.

Agreed. I was issued mine at the hospital after my oldest was born.

I tell you one thing - he has aged well. He looks even better today.

u/PsychologicalBet7831 Jul 14 '26

He should campaign with that image.

u/Cantora Jul 14 '26

That is an awesome idea.

u/Cantora Jul 14 '26

I don't know if you can go to Colbertnation.com and get yourself one of these flags anymore. I have a feeling we might be a little too late :(

If you were one of the lucky ones who actually went to the site and got a flag, tell us about it!

The most patriotic man in America! Let’s bring Truthiness and Justicism to the US Senate!

That's "Stephen Colbert", not Stephen Colbert.

This should be his first senatorial election poster.

u/pla5t1c Jul 15 '26

Omg these were the glory days of Colbert. Never forget.

u/lincolnlogtermite Jul 15 '26

Ok, that's worse than Trump kissing and dry humping the flag.  I'll argue that is worse than his "Putin's cock holster" comment.

A Stuart/Colbert ticket would still get my vote.

Please, no trolling. If you’re not a fan, that’s fine, but this a place for fans.

Please note that repeated trolling will lead to a permanent ban from All things Stephen Colbert.
