Paul and I have watched the Daily Show with Jon Stewart for years. OK, the last year we've kinda been out of touch. But Stephen Colbert was one of the "fake news" correspondents on the show. Definitely one of the funnier ones, till he left and started his own show, The Colbert Report. He's still super funny but we still only watch occasionally, and if we had to choose which to watch in the interest of time these days, it'd be the Daily Show.
But you can google more on Colbert. In the meantime, 230,000 votes came in to name the upcoming NASA Node 3 after Colbert. While he technically won the vote, NASA opted to name the Node 3 "Tranquility" (in observance of the Apollo 11 that landed on the moon at the "Sea of Tranquility" 40 years ago this July) and instead named the new exercise treadmill the COLBERT. The treadmill will be launching in August if all goes well.
Ofcourse, everything at NASA is an acronym. COLBERT is no exception.

I heard NASA named the treadmill Colbert...I didn't know it had an acronym. That's funny.
