Political pundit, comic genius, and genuinely cool guy Stephen Colbert is known for his polished, debonair look.
Being dapper and suave is easy when youโre the host of The Late Show. Itโs 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 didnโt just go wild โ they swooned!
And now for your โMoment of Zenโโฆ
Epic responses from Reddit users:
โYou donโt have a to be a woman to appreciate some delicious, let-me-run-my-fingers-through-it hair. Speaking from experience.โ

โSeeing old pics like this make me have hope I will one day figure out what the f**k to do with my hairโ

There seems to be a lot of love for his locks, on this threadโฆ

โOnly that smile looks familiar. Heโs really changed, to me at least.

โGood Lord heโs good looking. I never wouldโve guessed it, but the longer hair and facial hair suits him.โ

But the below response wins.
Did that photo mark the moment that sparked Colbertโs political punditry prowess?
โHe looks like one of those dudes whoโs volunteering for a democrat campaign and heโs 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.โ

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 heโs funny too doesnโt hurt either!
