Colbert Gives $800,000 to Teachers

Stephen Colbert did some charity before he takes over for David Letterman. At a surprise event Thursday in Greenville, South Carolina, Colbert announced that he would fund $800,000 in grant requests by 800 public-school teachers across the state. “I’m a product of the South Carolina public-school system,” Colbert said. The grants ask for everything from books to trampolines.
