RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert has donated
proceeds from his Hurricane Florence-related book to disaster-relief
efforts in North Carolina.
The Raleigh News & Observer reported Thursday that the comedian sent a
check for $412,412 to Gov. Roy Cooper. The governor posted a "thank-you" on
Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/NCgovernor/>.
Colbert and his writing staff composed the book "Whose Boat Is This Boat?
Comments That Don't Help in the Aftermath of a Hurricane." It uses quotes
from President Donald Trump's visit to North Carolina in the aftermath of
Hurricane Florence last fall.
The 24-page faux-children's book was inspired by Trump's question about a
yacht that landed in the yard of someone living near the North Carolina
coast.
The book was released in November.
