Pitt students will finally have the chance to join the “Stephen! Stephen! Stephen!” chant.

Stephen Colbert, the host of the Emmy-winning Comedy Central late-night show “The Colbert Report,” will be speaking at the Carnegie Music Hall on Jan. 18.

In June, four Pitt engineering students earned the University a visit from the popular satirist. They did so by following a treasure map included in Colbert’s “Colbert Super PAC Super Fun Pack” boxes, which the comedian and political commentator released leading up to the summer of 2012 to help educate American young adults on the ins and outs of campaign fundraising.

Tickets are free and will be available on Friday at the ticket office on the ground floor of the William Pitt Union at 10 a.m. Students can get two tickets, but individuals will not be granted admission to the event without a Pitt ID. The Carnegie Music Hall holds about 1,900 people.

Doors open at 1 p.m., and the event begins at 2 p.m. Following Colbert’s speech, there will be a Q-and-A session. After the event, there will be a book signing.

Food, beverage, video and audio recording and photography will be prohibited.

The event is being put on by Pitt and the Swanson School of Engineering with the cooperation of Pitt Program Council.
