NEW YORK — Stephen Colbert, left, has been called what his mock pundit character would deem a traitorous insult: Canadian.
The host of “The Colbert Report” is — gasp! — a Canuck, or at least has a Canadian heritage, says the genealogy website . Colbert’s great-great-grandfather and his great-great-grandmother immigrated from Ireland to Canada, according to the site.
On his Comedy Central show, Colbert’s “U-S-A!”-chanting character has disparaged the Great White North. Colbert’s publicist didn’t respond to requests for comment.
