- As a teenager, B.J. Novak wanted a fake I.D. As an adult, he's confident the statute of limitations has expired.

Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!" - บันเทิง
Identity theft is not a joke, Ryan. Millions of families suffer every year!
o man, I really wish this one had a lot more likes. More people should like The office for being such a great show.
+Zenzi Sage True, but at least he didn't start taking out credit cards in the fake name. (or did he?)
+Zenzi Sage Michael!!!
Beard, Drugs, Kelly Kapoor
Ryan started the fire..
"I was 14 I didn't know what I was doing- I wrote to the IRS" is one of the most absolutely unhinged sentences I've ever heard
I was 14 I didn't know what I was doing. Haha. Ummmmm it sounds like he absolutely knew what he was doing!
KateMich12 I still don’t know what I’m doing. I’m 18
38 and still no clue
imagine finding out your identity was stolen by B.J. Novak lmao
I get the impression that Ryan Howard was only a slight caricature of B J Novak.
BJ Novak is a caricature of Ryan Howard.
That story is actually amazing
But what if he's still using the identity he stole?
#WhoIsTheRealBJNovak?
This reminds me of “The last person to do this disappeared. His name, Creed Bratton”
I was thinking of that too
He did all of that at 14. n went to Harvard. He kind of belonged on wall street. Really Smart n really illegal.
I love how Stephen just sits quietly and listens to his guest.
If Novak had told this story on the Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon would have fake-laughed every 10 seconds!
Mohey Saleh That's not as bad as Ellen, interrupting with a remark every two seconds.
Anyone is more watchable than that Fallon guy.
Faked claughed and yelled "What?!?" At the end of the story
Stephen was actually talking more over Steve Carell when he was on here
@@cameronpeterson6734 Cuz they're buddies, he knows how much he can interrupt him without it being rude.
He also started a fire
+Pablo Barrera RYAN STARTED THE FIREEE
+Ashar Ahmed (AsharTech) No it's, RYAN STARTED THE FY-YAAH!
RYAAAAN STARTEEEED THE GI-YAAAAAAAAAAAAH
With a cheezy pita.
Hey, check out fire-D guy. Cause he was fired
This is an amazing story. What a clever 14 year old.
"buckle in" this man warned me yet im still shocked wtf
BAP
I went to HS with him and can attest this actually happened. He and [name witheld] bought all the beer for our entire grade for Soph/Junior/Senior years.
Prove it
+Max Segal Wow that's cool. Most people who say those kind of things are trying to get likes
I hope his cleverness got him laid
what if she was just a really good method actor
that means you also went to the same high school as john Krasinski
If Michael Scott heard this story he would try and create a fake ID of David Wallace.
+Gam3Junkie No. he'd make one of Toby; accuse him of buying drugs and have him arrested xD
+mariman134 Definitely!
+mariman134 rtyio
lol no...he would make one of ryan
+Brian Miller hhhhj
"I was 14. I didn't know what I was doing."
Seems to know /exactly/ what he was doing considering he filled out tax forms
Somewhere there's a woman at the DMV who has been slamming her head against her desk for the last year muttering "I fucking knew it"
'IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE JIM, MILLIONS OF FAMILIES SUFFER EVERY YEAR!!'
+Suga & Spice Well not really, in the USA maybe thousands, most aren't really very affected by it.
MICHAEL!!!
+Aden Parker "Oh, that's funny.
MICHAEL!"
Jayshree Patel ur such a genius for remembering that
Jayshree Patel 😂😂😂😂
Novak should have been the lead in Catch Me If You Can.
fuck, this is a good premise for a film.
+nachoolo watch "The Imposter"
+Tony Aurum yes!
Yeah and the guy who's identity has been stolen is a police informant whom has just been wacked out by the mob. When they hear that a guy with his id has went to a club owned by their family, they believe the job was butched and they tries to rectify the situation.
nachoolo let's write it
Wow he knew how to fill in tax forms at 14
I don't think thats what he would have trouble with...the question is..How dafuq did he get a birth certificate???
+許錦文 Exactly! Yes, he did commit felony with all of this and now is the opportunity to change the system.
+許錦文 He walked in and asked for it, and they gave it to him, no questions asked. Clerk screwed up, but good for him
+Matt Chiasson That was the most unbelievable part of his story...if it were true he is an amazing actor or an astonishingly lazy clerk..
They probably thought he was a 30 year old dude that looked 14
It required some internet searches that the FBI might find a little fishy, but I looked it up and so long as he isn't from Wyoming, B.J. Novak should be in the clear.
AlmostSkillfull how come? Are there laws preventing something everywhere else?
The statute of limitations is probably longer in Wyoming
Now I know why he went to Harvard
"And like a true method actor, the only thing I had in my wallet was a Library card I had signed in his name."
I absolutely lost it
@Django Johnson luckily I did. Took 3 years tho
I hope neither his parents or the guy he pretended to be were watching. Or the police.
+Kyle Oxenham I do. That hopefully means at least one person with the power to change this from happening again can and will prevent this from happening again.
+Kyle Oxenham statute of limitations!
I think he can probably argue that this is a lie for entertainment purposes since it’s on TV
Stephen was about as speechless as I am.
I'm honestly sure there was a point where Steven was thinking "Oh Lord I have teenage sons..."
One of the best talk show stories I've heard I think. On par with Shia's bender.
+technodromen What's Shia's bender, might I ask?
Yes, what is Shia's story?
It's on Jimmy Kimmel.
Tomorrow's news; Novak arrested for admittedly committing fraud and identity theft.
+elijahpierson Thanks for that
+elijahpierson good Office reference
+thickheart28 He was a minor when he committed the crime. He is in the clear. ;-)
Statutes of limitations.
+Taylor AKA Murkadurka AKA xkapownd I'm pretty sure it's statue of imitations
Badass over level 9000
oh my god I need a dramatization of this it sounds so amazing
What a badass.
I live a block away from the Newton Free Library!!! The third floor has all the records in it.
If that was when he didn't know what he was doing, I'd hate to see him when he has a plan.
These types of interviews are classics..calm..toned..straightforward and with a sly response from the host...dont get many like this nowadays
i think about this literally all the time
WHAT A STORYTELLER I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Steven's expression of pure amazement...
that is one of the best stories ive ever heard on a talk show
This id theft story is eerily similar to the portion in Office when Dwight trades his way in Garage sale starting with thumbtacks. Did BJ Novak write it?!
Ryan started the FIRE!! gaddamit ryan,
I was 14 I didn’t know what I was doing... so anyway I filled up the FRS Tax form, pulled up his birth certificate, and renewed the drivers license wo blinking for a second
Now that guys is a genius.
Wow that's brilliantly sneaky.
“Look it’s the temp”
Someone pretended to be me on the phone with income tax people because she had my social insurance number and she was able to get all my information from them over the phone using it. Scariest part? She got a thrill out of telling me she did it.
“Buckle in” I love him
I don't care if this is true or not, I want to believe! :D
Sounds like something Ryan would do.
....RYAN STARTED THE FIRE.....
If you can stun Colbert you're doing something right.
hey look! It's the fire guy
this is my favorite story now
This is the PG version of "Catch me if you can", but still Awesome!!!
Shit this dude was andy duframe at 14!
it's dufresne lmao
Legit crime right there.
I used to think BJ Novak was a bit of a dorky comedian, but now I realize he is a lot more fun in interviews than on TV and film. God bless him.
He's brilliant !!! Great story !
WUPHF...
Daniel lol
"Identity theft is not a joke jim millions of families suffer every year!"
What a smart 14 year old
Waiting for some Ryan jokes... ok ... So now how do we know its not really Ryan that stole B.J. Novak Identity ?
this is such a ryan thing to do 🤣
Admits crime on tv , gets praised
+AgentDearestZ You have to admit. It was pretty fucking amazing.
more of being praise by the crime, he's being praise of how a masterfull way he commited that crime, when he was only 14 years old!
+Vertical Toasted I disagree. juvenile offenders should be treated like any other kind
pausebeforeviewtube
No one said anything about murder. This video isnt even about murder.
smoke
i just did, bitch
they are appaudling for a person who sold someone's identity ...
This is brilliant ! BRILLIANT !!!!!
once i read the title, i knew what the comments were.
Guy whose identity was stolen: Ryan used me as an object.
This is a really fantastic idea hahaha
When I was 14 I wanted to be a knight :/
+kubek That's actually better.
Awesome!
His intellect went to Harvard three years later, produced one of the most successful shows of all time, made an app, and may run for Mayor of LA. Wow.
Check it out, its fire guy! Oh wait, fire-d guy :D
"I just hope you have a good lawyer.... because, HERE TONIGHT...."
WHAT!!!! Hahaha this is wild best story I’ve heard in a long time
Absolutely amazing
At 14!
LITERALLY AMAZING!
This is the coolest story ever!
This is amazing...
I would legit watch a movie of this. Amazing coming of age comedy.
Fascinating. Highly illegal, but fascinating.
Gosh he's incredible 😀💙
He is a mastermind
The scariest part of this is that "official" offices and workers (who are hired to protect citizens) are the real ones who got away with this felony. AND, it still happens.
The main problem is that the libraries polling records weren't kept in a locked file cabinet.
Not Telling So online sites for looking up ancestors need to be locked then.
+Anner Chisline If someone meets the requirements per the procedures, then public service employees are required to follow the procedures. If there was any suspicion then obviously there would've been a problem, but the only suspicion was at the DMV when he already had all these documents and they saw that in spite of having the documents on hand, he didn't look like 21. And their suspicions where cleared when the library card seemed to confirm his identity. The public service officials, assuming they all followed the procedure of the time, were not wrong to serve this kid, it was the kid's fault for falsely impersonating another identity and using forged documents to do so.
This is why security is tightened now: when I applied for a library card, I needed to show ID. If you want a duplicate license, you need to answer questions to make sure you can't do what this guy did. A lot of government functions now require your social security number AND an ID. Beating the system was just barely possible when this guy did it, but he exploited every loophole in the book to make it happen. Those loopholes have been sealed shut. Now, you need a fingerprint to get a duplicate license, and the way fingerprint technology is, I'm certain red flags would show up if the print didn't match in the database.
You contradict yourself in this a couple of times.
2nd best 14 year old of course after me, You guys already know about how Schrutes are raised right?
Reminds me of Michael Anthony Hall in Breakfast Club?
"Why'd you get a fake I.D?"
"So i could vote. duh."
#paraphrasing
😂 for real!
When you realize Ryan is on Broccoli Rob’s talk show
See this is the stuff one could pull in the pre 9/11 world. And I wish I had thought of this when I was fourteen
He's even more criminal than Ryan
I bet the real Ben J was crushed he never got his birthday crossword from work.
i need to remember the details of this story when i need a fake id.
Times have changed.
Haha brilliant story!
that's actually smart, absolutely insane and RADICALLY ilegal 😭😭😭😭😭
he's going to be in the mc donalds movie with michael keaton. seriously
Wow this is amazing
Ryan started the fire!!!
That’s right, he went to Harvard.
this is undoubtedly one of the most interesting stories ive ever hear. Amazing
He also gave his child an allergic reaction to be with kelly
Only a true writer would say something like, "A wry smile."
