Stephen Colbert Makes His Marquee and Helps a Local Business

As Stephen Colbert continues to prepare to take over David Letterman's spot on The Late Show, he's doing more than celebrating marriage equality and appearing on Michigan's public access.

He's bringing his face to his new Manhattan digs and trying to help the neighbors at the same time.

You'll recall the famous marquee that welcomed visitors to the Ed Sullivan Theater and Letterman's former late night homestay.



Well as they renovate the space for Colbert's September premiere, a new sign appeared July 6.

Behold, Stephen Colbert's new awning.
