Stephen Colbert's 2025 Ripple of Hope Remarks - Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center
Stephen Colbert is the host, executive producer, and writer of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' As one of the most influential satirists of his generation, Colbert has long used wit to challenge injustice, shine a light on pressing social issues, and inspire millions.
“Humor can be a catalyst for change,” said Kennedy. “Stephen Colbert stands as a shining example of how speaking truth to power, boldly, wisely, and with heart, can ignite change and send ripples of hope far beyond the stage.”
“I wish my mother was alive to see me receive this honor. Robert F. Kennedy’s mission of public service and love for all humanity was a cradle creed that she gave to her 11 children,” shared Stephen Colbert. - 12/19/2025.
