Stephen Colbert singing Friday

[SoaringRedT]

This should go onto itunes and then they donate all the proceeds from that too.

[pissedllama]

I think my faith in humanity was just restored.

[abjuron]

@berbare

Yeah, but does that make it any less awesome that they decided to use this bit that would've been a hit anyway, to raise money for a cool charity?

Also, I bet Rebecca Black and her label LOVED this version. It gave undue credibility to her song's ability to be an actually redeemable, half-decent pop hit

Also (part two), save this video while you can people, this one is bound to go just like the previous ULs of this bit. DMCA. Gotta love it?

[MegasMaxed]

THIS WAS AWESOME!!!!

[SoaringRedT]

WINNING!

[DunderMiffilin1]

Epic moment on television

[Str1d]

@nickk4283

Viva La Banda $15.00

[csinder2009]

lol awesome video, and if NBC Universal takes down a video where they're shown donating 20k in the first two minutes to a good cause, they need to fire their marketing dept, they should WANT this to go viral

[RaNdOmRuLeR]

EPIC WINNN!!  :D

[ABONESR]

the black dude in half car... lmao

[Hustlerae]

[fabo1393]

at least their voices are real and not made by Auto Tune

[monkiebrane101]

@fabo1393 Lol they were autotuned for a little bit(during the calender bit).

[DogtownLord]

Video will be taken down soon, NBC already fucked over the first person who uploaded this and got 750k views.

[pridol09]

HAhahahAHAHhAHAHAhahahhAhAhaha­hahahahahhahahahaahhaahhaahhah­aha

[LesMisGavrocheRI]

So THAT'S where Taylor Hicks has been hiding all these years! LOL

I love this! They make this song good!

[MoonPisces029]

i cant believe that they actually made this song somewhat okay to listen to

[luisrodas11]

you know..there's a girl named Rebecca Black who did a horrible cover of this..

[damnmikeyy]

hahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!! EPIC

[aoreskovich]

Where can I sign up for the Soul Patrol?



[shockolatedolphin]

The point of the cheerleaders is...?

[SpeedyMixes]

[GhostReconGuy]

The GOOD version.

[Dragonfree97]

2:35 to save lives

[shockolatedolphin]

@Dragonfree97 lmfao

[choppa86400]

This man is a true genius.

[jonnydoe5875]

someone should tell Rebecca Black that three grown men just owned the shit out of her song

[kostamkdpp]

WAAAAA I cant scan the QR code... I really wanna see what's behind that

[vv320]

He is a better singer than Rebbeca Black!!!

[BeachballOtaku]

This is the first time I have ever heard FRIDAY. I am pleased that this was my first. <3

[ThePurpleBus]

ladies and gentlemen...TAYLOR HICKS!!!!

[12TheDude12]

Already downloaded from YouTube and on my iPod

[DocileRaptor]

Colbert makes this song better.

[TheCursedChosen1]

Why couldn't the original be sung by Colbert? XD

[mandabunny1]

Is it awful that I would pay money for this version?

[blah9999999]

better than the original

[jgilbertptbo]

it's almost like this song was written just to be spoofed as much as possible. LOL

[msleslieee]

it's... it's... TAYLOR HICKS!!

[berbare91]

we all know this was charity thing was just an excuse to sing this song.

[ranmataro]

omfg!! i hated this song till i heard him sing it!!!

[djeldj]

Is it me or did they do a better job at singing this than Rebecca Black

[CrowdedCrowds3]

@djeldj haha absolutely every1 could do a better job then Rebecca! he was great though!

[Stormwake]

Yay Taylor Hicks! I kinda missed him. XD

[ThatSlinkyBastard]

Look at the ratio of likes do dislikes. The dislikes are the sad deluded souls who thought Rebecca Black was good...

[legoguyfilms]

@ThatSlinkyBastard hopefully those are just people who dont like Colbert, Roots, Fallon, and Hicks

[sfriesen33]

this is brilliant!!!

[ox66031]

Not even Stephen Colbert can make this song not suck

[AlexandrisSnape]

@ox66031 Then you're completly and utterly deaf.

[ox66031]

@AlexandrisSnape obviously, because deaf people make a habit of commenting on songs... idiot

the most talented singer in the world couldn't make this song not suck, improve yes, but not beyond the point of sucking

[TobbRobb]

@ox66031 But he made it a LOT better.

[danalogue]

This is fun fun fun fun.

[jenlight]

8 people are deaf.

[CorrosiveTruths]

I got tired of this as a meme (why does everything have to be a meme?), but this video was still so very very cool. Thanks.

[Meezymike420]

obviously they like it. either that or they're making fun of a 13 year old, soo i think they like it

[john3887]

Canadians need to take the stick out of their ass and enjoy this video

[jewls6790]

@john3887

I'm Canadian.. I quite enjoy this.

[sportsguy515]

@5:58 you can see the guy who's supposed to hold up the QR Code bust his ass LOL

[pirucreek]

girls is better, this is awesome!

[haymaker710]

Holy shit, it took Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, and Taylor Hicks to turn this song into gold. I guess you can polish a turd.

[cfall234]

the utter randomness is so hilarious. this is just great TV. kudos to colbert, fallon, stewart, conan for doing awesome sh*t all the time and keeping the talk show alive

[violinistslythie7]

@cfall234 Totally agreed, but have to add Craig Ferguson :)

all amazing innovators of the late night genre!

[boeweizer]

those who dislike this vid like the original

[tbitm]

@boeweizer that cant be right, 8 people didn't like the original

[AbsentiaeAddoAccendo]

Einstein bless America.

[citygirl2192]

This has got to be the ONLY good thing that came out of the whole 'Friday' debacle

[mobius212]

Taylor Hicks is alive!?!?

[carlos55524685551379]

This is the first time that I've seen a video that I literally CANNOT see the red dislike bar.

[haymaker710]

@carlos55524685551379 If you look at the original all you see is the red bar.

[ArchonofFate]

can't stop returning here to watch this... it's completely random and I like it :D I mean whats with the beekeeper and the yeti?

[SephirothxAngel]

The Dancers are Sexii As Hell

[Devilsfan123]

Lol @ the obscureness of Taylor Hicks.

[Ragtatter]

So, where can I buy the MP3 of this?

[jpdrop]

FUN FUN FUN (for real)

[ZimMan2]

I would pay for an mp3 of this.

[mm2haloguy]

Only they can make a smash hit outta shit!! Colbert and Fallon FOREVER

[yopomo]

hahahhaHAAHAHAHAHAHHA

[Mikeinator004]

@Koshana Hahaha my small minded friend. I am obviously not "trolling" I am just very very intelligent.

[CameronHollander]

To those of you who disliked this:

You're most definitely not cool enough to be in the front seat.

Nor are you smart enough to be in the back seat.

You're obviously hogtied & ballgagged in the trunk.

Thumps up if you agree. ^_^

[rhondawinter]

I love how utterly gleeful Jimmy Fallon looks while he is dancing; they all seem to really be having a blast performing this insipid song.

[flysupertomcat1]

The guy in the car is "Black Thought" of the Roots (Jimmy Fallon's house band, Hip Hop legends)

He was the best part of the video, I thought!

[lambofgod914]

ha they took rebecca black own song and caved in her face with it

[spiritjama1]

his better than that girl ^_^ he made me love the song

[mamoo0692]

That front left bee keeper is having a fucking ball!

[ThePokeyPictures]

lol they didnt know the correct lyrics and it was still better

[TheLastSliceOfPie]

I FUCKING LOVE COLBERT!

[camifornilla]

it'd be funny if this was all just one big april fools joke



[ilurvpeace]

This is better than the original... Then again, a troupe of singing muskrats is better than the origin

[Mik3wk]

Who is rapping chartrices part?

[Mikeinator004]

@mecher3k You know your shit man. It was Canada who won ww2. Canada.

[Koshana]

@Mikeinator004 Can't tell if trolling or just very smart. =l

[spez1989]

Gotta love the roots cover

[pinballcentral]

7 people are, well, fuck it. anyone who dislike this are fuck heads.

[Godeepgts11]

the 7 dislikes are Rebecca Black fans......and thats all she has....7 of them..

[LaurenRoxU]

@Godeepgts11 :o 8 now. She's got a huge fan base! Obviously they just don't own computers.

[yourcathatesme]

this is the best video ever.

[pinballcentral]

of course 5 out of the 7 minutes was the audience laughing.

[sween64]

mmm Knicks City Dancers...

[Shahaed77]

Better than the original...

[Mikeinator004]

@flubberjibbel You may have good colleges but none of you fucking retards actually use them. Youre the fucking retards who cant find their own country, the country you love so much, on a map. Meanwhile us canadians are kicking your ass at hockey, fucking your women, and finding our beautiful country on a map. Fuck you. Props to mecher3k. He knows what hes talking about. Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee!!!! Fucking douche bag.

[Tiacola05]

EPIC.

[kuhntpunt]

Lol Taylor Hicks?!?! And to think I forgot about him...

[Star13570]

lol Colbert's version is like sooo much better than the original. Go Colbert!!!!! XD

[FloOFy2]

If there's one thing that Friday did is bring up some funny shit like this. love it

[thebigaznguy]

lol hysterical !!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love this version then that shitty original one

[moatartareque]

April fools! Your cheque isn't valid! 

[TolerableProductions]

This is plain Amazing hahah!!! WOW!!! :D Best version of the song ever. This must've took some time to produce. I like the fake car.

[Mikeinator004]

@domisthebomb09 You are the one that is stupid. You just used the same dis on two people. You fucking pathetic faggot. I hate the original version of this song. Its horrible.

[CatBreadMonkeyFish]

This should have been the official version lol

[MpFirefly1]

Naturally there would be a bee keeper and the abominable snow man present for this...

[s4m5on]

@MpFirefly1 Naturely Id have found it weird if they hadnt been there

[flubberjibbel]

This wasn't supposed to be hilarious you idiots, it was supposed to be entertaining, so just shut up and enjoy it

[ImpulseKid86]

"Rebecca Black" and "Smash Hit"...Four words that should never be used in the same sentence.

[grantruby]

How have 7 people giving this a thumbs down?!

[MykeMetyll]

Gotta love the Roots.

[Mikeinator004]

@pavelthe2 Finally, someone who knows what true comedy is. I totally agree with you. This is not funny. Everybody here is just too stupid to realize that.

[domisthebomb09]

@Mikeinator004

Or maybe you're just too stupid to realize how good this actually is. ohh. You must actually like the original Rebecca Black version of the song. No wonder you don't think this is funny. If I didn't have a sense of humor I wouldn't think this was funny either.

[splendidmate]

If Stephen Colbert can't save this song, no one can. He came close though.

[Rhaabjorn]

@splendidmate epic mullet guy does a good cover of it

[TwoEz123]

just amazing

[kevinwinegar1]

this original song is just so bad



[Onnaevilsmith]

To the girl that got to Hug Stephen Colbert: You lucky bitch. XD

[minimeify]

@Onnaevilsmith LOL yeah the same thing came accross my mind ahaaha

[pavelthe2]

I watch the Colbert Report and like Stephen, but while the raising money thing was for a good cause, I personally didn't really think this was funny at all. Go ahead, thumb me down, faggots.

[salaamthebody]

@pavelthe2 wow, this troll left quick. but you're right, this isn't funny, this is just spectacularly pure bliss.

[domisthebomb09]

@pavelthe2

If I didn't have a sense of humor I wouldn't think this was funny either.

[mangachick724]

If they played this every Friday instead of Rebecca Black I would love my Fridays ten billion percent more.

[zikten]

at the end was that one guy in the back holding up one of those things you scan? anyone try to scan it?

[GeurillaVideo]

@zikten I tried. Wasn't a good enough resolution/off a computer screen. I'm curious too. 10 bucks it says "Friday"

[TheCwatts22]

@zikten It wont let me post the link, so just insert the dots into this

goo DOT gl SLASH EawJH

[erik1frend]

Stephen makes the song a whole lot better when he sings it haha

[onewingedangel326]

everything is better with dancers :O

[caboose218]

Leave it to Colbert to turn a pile of shit into a diamond.

[PoeticRocker]

@caboose218 Jimmy Fallon show right? Not the song. Gotcha. (wink)

[Mikeinator004]

@MagnificientSternin Hey listen, I didn't say anything bad about them raising money for charity. They could've raised the money and not done that "entertaining bit". I'm not the dumbass for leaving a comment, you fucking morons are the ones who keep responding.

@p4cm4n182 This has nothing to do with american television and canadian television. This has to do with comedy. This isn't funny. But you americans find stupid shit to be funny. Who won the gold medal in hockey at the olympics? Canada.

[JadeMonkeyBand]

This is SO AWESOME

[tmoney0728]

knicks cheerleader in the front right in the middle is hot

[merklelicious]

jimmy and stephen are the best. i love them!

[MsTechnoStorm]

Still a crappy song but over 9000 times better when sang by Colbert. This is something Im willing to pay for to have on my MP3.

[09090989]

ironical... This one gets 99% thumbs up, while rebecca's (the real one) gets 75% down.... hmmm :p?

[maplesyrupgl]

@09090989 1. Ironical isn't a word. 2. That isn't what irony is, at all. That is in no way ironic.

[xxstormxangelxx]

THIS is far better than the original song & video hahaha :)

[Mikeinator004]

@Sykmos Was this whole "Singing friday if we can get $26 000" necessary??

@ManUnited013 Thats very immature.

[MagnificientSternin]

@Mikeinator004 Was raising money for Charity and doing an entertaining bit on a variety show necessary?

Is leaving a dumbass comment on YouTube necessary?

[honkersey]

Way better than the original that's for sure

[Iftomorrowevercomes]

Who dislikes this!?

[P13C3OFME]

/watch?v=rro1nXt9xWs

WATCH REBECCA BLACK - FRIDAY PARODY! PLEASE!:) LETS EMBARESS HER MORE:)

[BulaBarnum]

@5:48 Dude in the white jacket and hat is so pumped to say "YEAH" but it is not the right time for it at all!

[dancer4life5]

It's amazing how much better this song sounds when sung/rapped by people with actual talent. And I like the instrumental played by the Roots, nice job by the band!

And Jimmy's auto-tuned part is f****** hilarious!

[redbeast2]

bi-winning

[Mikeinator004]

Thats what I thought. All you stupid americans who dont know the difference between someone whos actually funny and a dick head dancing around singing a stupid song have nothing to say. Thats what I thought. O Canada! Terre de nos aieux Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux! Car ton bras sait porter l'épée Il sait porter la croix! Ton histoire est une épopée Des plus brilliants exploix. Et ta valeur, de foi trempée Protégera nos foyers et nos droits Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
