THE PRESIDENT AND THE PUNDIT
As The Colbert Report draws to a close, Stephen is getting the A-list guests. On Monday (Dec. 8), it was President Barack Obama who stepped in, not only as a guest, but to take over “The Word” segment. After renaming it “The Decree,” he launched into "To Health in a Handbasket." The segment was not only funny, it was politically shrewd for the President. It's enrollment time for the Affordable Care Act and what better way to reach young people? Remember during the last enrollment period the Commander-in-Chief appeared on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis causing a bump in activity to the Healthcare.gov website. As for Colbert, it was a great way to jump into his two final weeks as the conservative pundit. -- Monique Nazareth
