Stephen "Col-bear"
of Report fame
has died
but Stephen "Col-bert"
of Late Show fame
is born.
His first musical guest
is New Late Show
bandleader Jon Batiste.
And just like that
everyone will forget
how to correctly pronounce
every other fake French
stage name
(but hopefully not "Jon").
Not to mention Col-bear's show
was broadcast to Real Americans
who believe in Truthiness
while Col-bert
now also has to appeal
to Fake Americans
as his real self.
That would make anybody feel vulnerable
and it's our Fake American duty
to Bert the burden
along with him.
