Political pundit, comic genius, and genuinely cool guy Stephen Colbert is known for his polished, debonair look.
Being dapper and suave is easy when you’re the host of The Late Show. It’s one of the few remaining jobs where you must always wear a suit.
On the other hand, a picture of a younger Stephen Colbert that appeared online this week is not quite as buttoned up.
Just look at that lush head of hair!
The image was posted on Reddit, before being made into a piece over at Time. Colbert fans didn’t just go wild — they swooned!
And now for your “Moment of Zen”…
Epic responses from Reddit users:
“You don’t have a to be a woman to appreciate some delicious, let-me-run-my-fingers-through-it hair. Speaking from experience.”
– NWPY
“Seeing old pics like this make me have hope I will one day figure out what the f**k to do with my hair”
– BionicHawki
There seems to be a lot of love for his locks, on this thread…

“Why is Stephen Colbert perfect? Smart, funny, handsome, and dog owner too?!”
– _madnessthemagnet
“Jesus christ that stride though”
– Jimihendrix25
“Only that smile looks familiar. He’s really changed, to me at least.
– bigblackcoke
“Good Lord he’s good looking. I never would’ve guessed it, but the longer hair and facial hair suits him.”
– sociable-introvert
But the below response wins.
Did that photo mark the moment that sparked Colbert’s political punditry prowess?
“He looks like one of those dudes who’s volunteering for a democrat campaign and he’s super optimistic and peppy and everyone feeds off his energy and then his candidate loses by 500 votes and declines to call for a recount and he gets jaded with politics and never has that same smile again.”

All of the Reddit responses were Moment of Zen worthy, clearly. Despite the passage of 33 years, Mr. Colbert still looks good to us.
That he’s funny too doesn’t hurt either!
