Today is the 45th birthday of the truthiness king himself, Stephen T. Colbert. The often-egocentric host of "The Colbert Report" made no mention of his special day on the show, although he did treat himself to a couple of thousand-dollar desserts on a recurring segment, Colbert Platinum.
In addition, staff members bought him a 1973 Martin guitar (see the full story), which might make its debut on Thursday's show when Yusuf (a.k.a Cat Stevens) guest stars. So sweet of them, but I honestly won't know if he plays it or not— I can't even tell a guitar apart from a bass.
The picture above (courtesy of the Military.com) is our first glimpse of Private Colbert training at Fort Jackson, S.C.— check out the Louis Vuitton bag and over-sized shades! He's attending boot camp to prepare for the show's upcoming trip to the Persian Gulf. The time and specific location of the tour is still a mystery, but hopefully we'll see some footage of the basic training soon.
Dismissed!

Really? He's joining the army? How long has he been on TV? I remember that time when you got to see him in DC :). Man, you always meet the cool people like him and Bill Nye!!
