Colbert’s Portrait—Should the Smithsonian Take It or Leave It?
Stephen Colbert, forget the portrait. The Smithsonian wants your slippers. Check it out.
Watch video from part 2 of Stephen Colbert’s visit to the Smithsonian. Tune into “The Colbert Report” Tuesday night to see how his adventure concludes.

Take it!!
Constantly covered by the media
Here are a few reasons why:
1) White House Correspondent’s Dinner
2) Ran for President of the United States (almost)
3) Best-selling book
4) Has an eagle and a turtle named after him
5) Has a hockey mascot named after him
6) Duets with top singers (Willie Nelson, Tony Bennett, etc)
7) The entire show with the battle against the Decemberists
Those are just a few of the reasons off the top of my head
