This animated tribute to Stephen Colbert is in honor of his magnificent performance. I'll have you know I was baked on Cali bud the whole time I worked on this. I left the audio at full quality, because this work is done in the spirit of a Roman triumph.

There's no denying the huge supporting role Jon Stewart played in this victory. Both Stewart and Colbert had to use their people-skills over a long period of time to gain access to their marks. Jon Stewart loaded the bases and Colbert hit it over the fence. It reminds me a bit of the tactics of the "Yes Men".
