Stephen Colbert is also the author of I Am America (and So Can You!) and America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren’t, although those books were arguably written by “Stephen Colbert,” Stephen Colbert’s fictional alter-ego and host of The Colbert Report, not “Stephen Colbert,” the actual human being who hosts The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Stephen Colbert was unavailable for comment.
