If you don't watch either Stephen Colbert's or Jimmy Fallon's shows, here's the premise in a nutshell.
One of the most fun cross promotions ever done on TV started when Stephen Colbert auctioned off his portrait for Donor's Choose charity for $26,000 and decided to include his "new BFF" in the effort . . .

The project easily raised the required amount to make Colbert keep his part of the deal . . in fact, according to an update on Jimmy Fallon's site today, NBC kicked in another $26,000 and the grand total is now at $86,000.
Fallon does some great music bits on his show but he will be hard pressed to ever top this one . . watch for yourself . . .

I saw a tweet that said now we know why that horror ( Friday) was unleashed on the world !
Embedding Friday for those who have been fortunate enough to miss the buzz on the song that has been called the worst song ever - massive use of autotune being just one of the criticisms.
File under people are strange : the video has 80+ Million views . . guess it's sort of the Charlie Sheen of videos :p
If curious and want the whole story, Friday even has it's own Wiki entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_%28Rebecca_Black_song%29)
