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

Another touching video of Stephen honouring John. This was Stephen Colbert’s send off to John Meiklejohn, his family friend who is one of the best camera operators in the business.

John Meiklejohn funeral held April 14th at Riverside Memorial Chapel, 1761 Amsterdam Ave at 76th Street.
“Adorable” tribute? I think you could have used a better word… like “touching.”
And… “Stephen’s The Colbery Report.” ???
Clearly you need some editors.
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.
