Stephen Colbert Sings "Cheap Reward" with Elvis Costello
Elvis Costello was Stephen Colbert's guest on last night's Colbert Report. He was on to promote his new talk show and to perform a song. Unfortunately, Elvis lost his voice, so Stephen filled in on vox. That's right, Elvis Costello is a talk show host and Stephen Colbert is a singer. It's just like if I worked in your office and read this blog for a day while you wrote this blog and had sex with models on my motorcycle.
The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30pm / 10:30c.

delicious.
Well, now thank god he's a country boy! Nice.
Great sound Stephen! I've still got the show saved, and listen to it a couple of times each day since it aired.
Beautifully performed!
As Freakshow's wife would say, "he had a voice like a baby canary!" Great job, Elvis and Stephen! I was really pleasantly surprised.
Wow, Stephen, your singing was hot!! Bravo.
Tears came to my eyes as I listened to this, I have to say, Stephen, your voice is heavenly. Please become a singer!
Stephen, you did a terrific job on this old EC gem, a little cross between My Aim is True and Almost Blue. (And Elvis looked very Scottish.) When's the duet album coming out?
Cobert – a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. The dude has talent.
Colbert completely rocked this tune! I was blown away. Never ceases to amaze. Colbert is the bomb.
