Colbert donated his own time, not just money, on helping our troops (many times on his show on Iraq and here on America where he welcomed the troops on the studio) and the YRF. He also gave time and voice to the US Olympic Team to their worries regarding the lack of help they needed to participate on the winter olympic games. Then there is also the fact that he also donated from his own pocket several times to charity organizations but mostly he donated his time and energy to make sure they got the helped and the voice they needed for their efforts. So Colbert is not all talk, he does the walk and that is the issue here.

Notwithstanding the secular government, there is a lot of cultural capital that gets leveraged in American when something gets presented as representing Christian teaching. The question of what in fact can or should be validly presented as Christian teaching is then a practical one, and we should be critical about the content of what gets so presented for this reason.
