Congratulations, John T. Lowey, You’re Getting the Colbert Bump

A particularly detail-oriented tipster noticed that, during a bit about forms of identification on last Thursday's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert brandished a PennCard.

John T. Lowey, are you out there sans ID?

Perhaps Colbert brought it back as a souvenir from filming on campus when the show relocated to Philly during the Democratic primaries. Refresher video after the jump.

UPDATE: Carrying correct ID is important, kids. Otherwise, you get carded at the gym. Like Barack Obama.

    Hey, I lived with John T. “Jack” Lowey. He has now graduated. He plays the drums!

    Nina, didn’t you intern at the Colbert Report? Do you have internal sources?! I’m scandalized.

    Ha, I did indeed. But I still get my information the old-fashioned way: by digging through people’s garbage.
