Stephen Colbert on DonorsChoose | Master...

CBS
About this episode

In 2007, Stephen satirically ran for President of the United States, and it was a full team effort, from Doritos’ sponsoring his presidential coverage to working with DonorsChoose to fund donations for public school classrooms across the country. Stephen joins Masters of Scale executive producer Jordan McLeod and co-founder of WaitWhat June Cohen to recall his satirical run for presidency, his letter to the Democratic Party asking to stay on the ballot, and his early engagements with DonorsChoose. In 2009, Stephen joined the DonorsChoose Board of Directors, and he’s helped raise millions of dollars for the organization. Find new episodes of Masters of Scale every Tuesday, available wherever you get your podcasts. Original Release Date: December 2022.
