Before his death, Meiklejohn was a veteran camera operator of more than 30 years. He filmed everything from the Tony Awards to Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? to Stephen’s The Colbery Report.

According to Stephen, John offered an unknowing voice of support in the earliest days of The Colbert Report. Stephen said in his tribute:

“He believed in me.”

Thank you John Meiklejohn

  1. “Adorable” tribute? I think you could have used a better word… like “touching.”

    And… “Stephen’s The Colbery Report.” ???

    Clearly you need some editors.

  2. Oh… and your headline: “How John Meiklejohn died”

    Um… no. Not that it’s anyone business, but you didn’t even have that in there.

    Again… clearly you need some editors.
