Stephen Colbert is a superior father and he has the proof to back that up. "I have a mug that actually verifies that I'm the world's best dad," he told BuzzFeed. "That's a mug. That's not me talking. You can't just buy those."

The Colbert Report host took time to chat via phone while promoting his new DreamWorks animated comedy, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, in which he plays a less-than-perfect father named Paul Peterson. "It's like Midnight in Paris, but for kids," Colbert said of the film.

Outside of the realm of animation, the comedian has three children (ages 18, 15, and 12) with his wife Evelyn McGee. Below, Colbert talks about what it's like to be a famous dad — the good, the bad, and the most hilarious moments.

"Every year has its own special thing, but there's something about 6 years old," Colbert said wistfully. "They're just old enough that they can feed themselves, clean themselves, and they still really like you. That's when they say, 'All right, we're going to take them and put them in school.' And it's like, 'Ugh, we just got them all perfect!'"
