Last week, Stephen Colbert auctioned off a self-portrait for $26,000, then donated the money to the education charity DonorsChoose.org. In addition to that, Colbert announced that Jimmy Fallon would match the $26,000 donation — something that Fallon had no advance knowledge of. This led to a an unannounced appearance by Colbert on Fallon’s “Late Night” (see video below) in which Fallon made a key adjustment to the deal: if his viewers can raise the $26,000 by this Friday, Colbert will sing Rebecca Black’s “Friday” backed by the Roots.
If this is something you want to see — or even if you just care about children learning — you can donate HERE. Personally, I’d like it better if my donation went to Stephen Colbert setting fire to Ark Music Factory’s studios, but I’ll take what I can get.
