Colbert's Close Shave
Stephen Colbert reminds America it still has young men and women serving our nation in Iraq. He got loud applause from the troops when he poked fun at the fact that many of them have been deployed to Iraq multiple times.
"It must be nice here in Iraq because I understand some of you keep coming back again and again," he said during the taping of the first show on Sunday. "You've earned so many frequent flier miles, you've earned a free ticket to Afghanistan."
But the loudest roars came when his first guest, Gen. Ray Odierno, accepted a videotaped order from President Obama to shave Colbert's head. The president displays his sharp sense of humor while commending and honoring the troops.
