Colbert sometimes comedically refers to his surname as French, but his family is actually of Irish decent[3]. Originally, the name was pronounced "Col-bert", but Colbert's father had always wanted to pronounce the name "Col-bear", remaining "Col-bert" only out of respect for his own father. As a result, James Colbert offered his children the option to pronouce the name whichever way they preferred.[4] Colbert started using "Col-bear" when he transferred to Northwestern University, taking advantage of the opportunity to reinvent himself in a new place where no one knew him.[3]
