Gettin’ Down on Friday

On last night’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert channeled his inner 13-year-old girl and sang Rebecca Black’s Friday, making good on a promise he made to the late-night host earlier this week.  (With the help of fans, Fallon succeeded in raising $26,000 for Donors Choose, a non-profit organization serving America’s public schools.)  Backed by The Roots, an auto-tuned Fallon, and former American Idol winner Taylor Hicks (wait, what?), Colbert delivered a mesmerizing performance.  For those of you who aren’t yet sold on the idea, you should know that the performance also features pyrotechnics and dancing cheerleaders.
