Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert remember John Lewis, including his fun side
“This weekend, we lost a giant — a friend of the show and friend of the America we all aspire to,” Colbert said on “The Late Show.” “To say that he was a civil rights icon feels like an understatement.”
Colbert proceeded to list some of Lewis’ accomplishments, including his groundbreaking work as one of the 13 original Freedom Riders, a leader of the 1965 march for Black voting rights across Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., and “the angel on Congress’ shoulder.” He also celebrated a few of the congressman’s “fun” moments, including the time he marched around 2015 Comic-Con while cosplaying as his 25-year-old self or crowd-surfed during a visit to “The Late Show” at age 76.“John Lewis was a hero. That’s a given. Everybody knows that. But we tend to carve our heroes in marble and forget the other sides of them, like the fact that John Lewis was fun,” Colbert continued. “What I love is how positive he stayed while fighting injustice.
