Stephen Colbert Offers To Cover Rebecca Black For Charity

Stephen Colbert has offered to sing Rebecca Black’s Friday – the internet song/video that is creating waves around the world – with The Roots to raise money for charity.

Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert recently announced that they’ve become Best Friends Forever (for Six Months) and are generously donating each others’ time and money to DonorsChoose.org.



Last week, Stephen announced that Jimmy had matched Stephen’s gift of $26,000 from the proceeds of a Colbert portrait sold at auction. Unfortunately, Stephen did not tell this to Jimmy.



However, Jimmy is very excited to raise the money for DonorsChoose.org and greatly appreciates the work his BFF (for six months) has done on his behalf. 

So, as announced on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, if the Fallon / Colbert Project can raise $26,000 by this Friday April 1st, Stephen Colbert has graciously agreed to sing Rebecca Black’s “Friday” accompanied by the Roots.

The pair assure everyone that this is not an April Fools joke…
