Stephen Colbert On A Comedic Mission Impossible...Like the legendary USO entertainer Bob Hope, Colbert was rarely without a golf club.
Colbert was in Iraq this week earning serious karma graciously entertaining thousands of American troops. We have quite a bit inside this story: 2 outstanding clips and photos of Stephen with the soldiers, plus a few photographs of Bob Hope and Marilyn Monroe from one of their USO tours. In the first clip SC flies shotgun and does 8-point rolls with the Air Force Thunderbirds.
The 2nd video is a unique production from Comedy Central. It includes President Obama giving the command live via satellite to shave Colbert's head, as well as short comedic messages from Bill Clinton and both George Bushes. It has to be the first comedy sketch in history that includes participation from 4 living U.S. Presidents. I was impressed.
