Stephen Colbert vs. Rain

05/08/2008 05:51 AM Filed in: Humor

On what has to be one of the best and funniest shows on television (The Colbert Report), Stephen Colbert challenged Korean pop singer Rain to settle a dispute using a manly method: an old-fashioned dance-off.

Colbert was miffed because Rain beat him out of the top spot in Time Magazine's online poll of the "100 Most Influential People." After weeks of taunting Rain, the two battled it out in what can only be called an epic struggle.

Self-confession: I used to be a Late Show With David Letterman junkie, but Colbert has won my late-night heart this year. The guy is sheer comic genius!
