Wonky ear refers to Stephen Colbert's trademark distinctively shaped right ear. His wonky ear is his right ear, not his left ear, because it is on his right side and the viewer's left side. Though this slightly unusual characteristic has been the butt of some jokes, it has come to be a beloved part of Stephen's unique persona. In fact, one of the most famous Stephen Colbert sites was called Wonky Ear. His ear also hears the poetic sounds of white noise of D heavens.
