“To hell with Bruce Willis!": Stephen Colbert celebrates Kevin Vickers

American TV host and comedian, Stephen Colbert, dedicated his entire show to praising Canadian Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, the hero responsible for taking down gunman, Michael Zehaf Bibeau, in the Ottawa shooting...

He’s been called “Canada’s New National Hero” by the Washington Post. He’s made the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Now the sergeant-at-arms of Canada’s House of Commons has received perhaps an even rarer celebrity distinction in the United States: praise from a late-night TV comedian.

Stephen Colbert, better known for his roasting than his toasting, dedicated an entire segment of Wednesday night’s Colbert Report show to a tribute of Kevin Vickers, whose intervention helped end last week’s Ottawa shooting.
