Stephen Colbert was the highlight of the NU’s 2006 Homecoming Parade. Hundreds of students chased his car down Sheridan Road, screaming things like “It’s Stephen Colbert!” and “Stephen touched me! Stephen touched me!” At one point, someone threw a pink bra at Colbert, who promptly threw it back into the crowd.

Best line: Stephen Colbert saying, “Today’s Word is Northwestern!”
