“The Late Show” went back in time for a worthwhile reason on Wednesday.
Host Stephen Colbert and actor Nick Kroll dug out some awkward-looking photographs of when they were going through puberty to share with the world:
Nick Kroll asked me to post a pic of my awkward stage, but I never had one. So here's me lookin' cool as hell! #PuberMe #PuertoRicoRelief pic.twitter.com/UC9a7XtjZa

Thank you Stephen. In return, here's me trying to look like a tough guy because I hadn't yet hit #puberme. #PuertoRicoRelief pic.twitter.com/WAzZ6kk6qb

There was a serious point to their amusing stunt, however, as they also vowed to donate money to help Puerto Rico overcome the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria if other celebrities follow in their footsteps by posting similar snaps on Twitter under the #puberme hashtag.
Fellow late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was one of the first to join the game:
Hey @NickKroll & @StephenAtHome here’s a photo of me from earlier today #PuberMe #PuertoRicoRelief pic.twitter.com/TELUdYH43d
