There are only a few episodes left of The Colbert Report, and host Stephen Colbert is not going out quietly. In fact, he's bringing out the big guns for his swan song, filming his Dec. 8 episode in Washington, D.C. and welcoming none other than President Barack Obama as one of his final guests on the show.
However, President Obama wasn't going to sit back and let Colbert take in all the spotlight either, just because it is one of the last episodes. Oh no. President Obama basically used his Commander-in-Chief powers to eject Colbert from his desk and take over the remainder of his opening news report before sitting down with the host for a lengthy interview in the second half of the show.
"Stephen, you've been taking a lot of shots at my job. I decided I'm going to take a shot at yours," said President Obama right before he sat down at Colbert's special D.C.-decorated desk. The set wouldn't have been complete without portraits of former United States presidents in the background with Colbert's face on them, of course.
