Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

He heard your voice that's how he could walk up to you. Also people don't realize there's different levels of blindness. Some blind people can see lights and shadows but still be considered blind.

[@nbuehster]

I can see, but I'm considered blind since I can't see as well as other people.

[@andreacagle208]

Willow WFH there is video of him catching a mic stand that Paul McCartney knocks over as he runs by him. He reaches out and catches it. It never touched him prior to that. One person noticed, looks around to see if others saw, and acts like he caught the mic stand. Other people have also said he walked up without having met them prior and spoke to them. That’s not smelling someone you already know and saying hi. And celebrities have even seen him back a car down his driveway. There is no way to explain that one away. I worked with a man who was legally blind and he couldn’t drive. They don’t issue licenses to legally blind people but he couldn’t drive if he tried. He had a car but had other people drive him so it was all on his dime. My brother is 100% blind in one eye only, but had to show he has 20/20 in his other eye to get his drivers license because his depth perception is off. So saying there are different levels or degrees of blindness is a moot issue. Stevie has billed himself from day one as 100% blind in both eyes, from birth. They used to tell the story of why he was blind when he started at around 15 or so. It was his gimmick. Little Stevie Wonder. So he is who stated the level from day one. Younger people may not realize that. He even publicized his use of Braille to read and put Braille on his album covers so blind people could read them as well. When his first child was born he wrote “Isn’t She Lovely”, saying he knew this by feeling her face and touching her features. Oh, and best of all, one of his ex wives who is from Africa and went back there has said the entire time he could see and was not blind at all. That it was a gimmick to get him into the business and they never thought it would work and his career would skyrocket like it did. She didn’t understand how he could live that way, lieing like that, and be considered an American icon. It is what she said tore their marriage apart. His people simply painted her as crazy. I do understand what you are saying, but unfortunately I don’t think it applies to this man as it appears as more information comes out, he seems not to be what he has purported to be for the last five decades or so. And that is one big, ugly, snowball of a lie if it’s really true. Not to mention a slap to the truly blind by using the situation to make money.

[@Forever4God]

That could have happened but how do you know Anthony said anything at the time?

[@kissit012]

There are varying degrees of blindness. It's was revealed in the 90s that Stevie could see/was not 100% blind. His field of vision is extremely narrow and irreversible. He said can distinguish shadows and with decades of living like this you would get used to it and function pretty well.

[@dionnetownsend7331]

[@AussieOriginal]

I remember reading back in the 90s that Stevie Wonder had the option (and the money) to have surgery to return his vision however he refused to have it. Maybe he had the surgery and didn't tell us.

[@CourtTV.]

Who would turn that down?

[@AussieOriginal]

​@@CourtTV.A minority of blind people refuse surgery to restore sight (if it can be fixed), and one of the reasons is the fear of having to learn how to see. It's an overwhelming reaction to finally experience sight after one has created a "reality" in their head of what the world might be, and what sight is. It doesn't make sense to us because we have learned naturally since birth. But to see for the first time in your life, as an adult, is like stepping into another reality.

[@traceylauderdale1445]

Everyone keeps saying this. Haven't you noticed that a comedian can tell a true story like it is a joke? 😂 Stevie CAN see. Man I am beginning to believe he can.

[@NxDoyle]

There are a few bits of evidence that -prove- suggest that Stevie is not completely without sight. The most compelling is footage of Stevie apparently catching a mic stand knocked over by Paul McCartney on stage in 2010(?). I can't tell you one way or the other how much sight Stevie has, if any. All my life so far I've just accepted that his vision impairment is total, because I had no reason to believe otherwise. And I still don't. It will take a lot more than a few bits and pieces to make me draw serious conclusions to the contrary.
