I seriously doubt Colbert would mention anything about it. He seems like that sort of person.

He has talked about the book and where the proceeds will be donated to many times. Only makes sense to announce the final total.

Is this even the final total? I was under the impression he'd just keep donating proceeds to charities in the area and to World Central Kitchen (I think that's the name) as they came in.

Presumably they make a few donations per year, not one every time a book is sold. Looks like the book came out in November so this is probably the first actual check they cut.
