Colbert Reacts to Being Model's 'Hall Pass'

Stephen Colbert shared a surprising anecdote from his time hosting The Colbert Report when he discovered he was Paulina Porizkova's "hall pass." During a dinner with friends, Colbert learned of this unconventional designation and subsequently confirmed it via a PEOPLE magazine article. This revelation came about after Porizkova mentioned on Good Morning America that Colbert was 'so hot,' noting he would be her type if they both weren't married.

Colbert recounted his amused reaction to the news, including making a T-shirt to commemorate the event. At the time of Porizkova's statement, she was married to musician Ric Ocasek, who passed away in 2019. Porizkova later became engaged to writer Jeff Greenstein in July 2025, after their relationship became Instagram-official in May 2023. Colbert himself has been married to his wife, Evelyn McGee Colbert, since 1993.
