During an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in 2017, the comedian spoke candidly about his father’s addiction difficulties and what they taught him about fatherhood.

“My children believe I am the coolest father on the planet… I understand why I am the way I am; my father is largely responsible “he stated.
