Colbert Sings: Stephen Colbert's Best Vocal Performances
The Colbert Report has hosted a number of great musical acts over the years, but as any fan of the show knows, it's also hosted by a great musical act. Just last week, Stephen filled in for an ailing Elvis Costello and brought the house down. I heard Elvis is going to have Stephen sing in his place at all his performances now. I heard it from myself, and I was making it up, but the fact remains, I heard it. Nonetheless, today we present a collection of Stephen Colbert's best singing moments, beginning with a lesser-known gem from Strangers with Candy.
The list continues below.

Where's his song with Crosby, Stills, & Nash?
Obviously I understand not being able to see the hulu vid. But the fact I can't watch these, and the old Colbert stuff on thedailyshow.com, just depresses me so.
