John Legend & Stephen Colbert Experience the Joys of Nutmeg

Thinking outside the fake-news (gift)box last night, Stephen Colbert premiered A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All. John Legend sang about his love of nutmeg, while Jon Stewart took the opportunity to teach Stephen about Hanukkah with his own serenade. Other guests included Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello, Toby Keith, and Feist.

Get Flash to see this player.

If you missed the union of two of my favorite things in the world — the holiday season and Stephen Colbert — you can buy the DVD or download it on iTunes tomorrow. The soundtrack, sure to join Bing Crosby and Mariah Carey on the list of classic holiday albums, will also go on sale. A portion of the proceeds go to Feeding America. Did you catch Stephen's holiday special?

    I just don't know which part was best: the customer service angel, the try chanukah duet, the ode to nutmeg, bringing weed to the Baby Jesus... It was all so beautiful!

    I missed it but I'll definitely be catching one of the reruns. That nutmeg song is smooth and hilarious.
