An actor, writer and comedian who was twice honored as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people, Stephen Colbert was born on May 13, 1964, and grew up in Charleston, S.C.He studied drama at Northwestern University and honed his razor-sharp wit with Chicago's famed Second City comedy troupe before working on "The Daily Show" as an Emmy-winning writer and correspondent from 1997 to 2005. During that same period, he reunited with Second City alumni Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris to create and co-star in the short-lived "Strangers with Candy."
