President Obama Takes Over the Colbert Report

President Barack Obama took the stage away from Stephen Colbert on tonight’s special D.C. episode of The Colbert Report and gave his own version of ‘The Word.’

He made it a bit more presidential, of course. Renaming it ‘The Decree’ for the duration of the segment, but keeping the “original” script the same. It’s a fantastic segment, even if it doesn’t feature the showdown that I had hoped for when it was announced last week. That took place later, when Obama sat down for a full interview with Colbert.

With Colbert set to replace David Letterman in 2015, Comedy Central has scheduled the last episode of “The Colbert Report” to air on December 18, 2014.
