Celebrate A Colbert Christmas

By Marcus Gilmer in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 22, 2008 5:30PM

We know that it's apparently never too early to start celebrating the Christmas season, but when you're comedian and Northwestern grad Stephen Colbert, we're all ears. The hilarious TV show host debuts his new Christmas special, A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All, tomorrow night (Sunday, November 23) at 9 p.m. on Comedy Central. Stephen will celebrate the holidays (Hannukah, too, we're told) with some help from Feist, Toby Keith, John Legend, Willie Nelson and Jon Stewart. Given Colbert's usual antics, we're guessing it's going to be a jolly good time. If you like what you see (and hear!) tomorrow night, you'll be able to purchase a DVD of the show and an EP of the songs on iTunes, with proceeds benefiting Feeding America. But not bears. No way. We love Stephen and can't wait to see what green screen surprises he springs on us next.
