Colbert's InspirationDid you see the story in the Los Angeles Times? It turns out that Stephen Colbert got interested
in speed skating after he saw your performance and that of your buddies on the hockey team. Here's a quote:
Colbert isn't
your average comedian.
"Eric Heiden, 1980, the 'Miracle on Ice' year," Colbert said. "Hockey
and Heiden were the big stories, and I got fascinated by Heiden pulling down five gold medals. After that, for some reason,
I always wanted to watch the speedskaters.
When Colbert heard U.S. Speedskating had lost a major sponsor, Colbert
turned to his viewers or, as he calls them, Colbert Nation.
