If you watched Stephen Colbert's The Colbert Report last night then you're well aware that it could very well have been one of the most entertaining episode of the Comedy Central hit ever. Whether it be the incredible banter between the host and guest Neil Young, their conversations about the "After The Gold Rush" singer's new memoir Special Deluxe, the political chat about impeaching President Obama over fracking or their duet on "Who's Gonna Stand Up," one thing is for sure: Neil Young is one entertaining dude!
Young kicked off his appearance on the Report with a totally bizarre interview. After being mocked by Colbert for "dressing up" – saying Young wore his "formal t-shirt" – the two chatted about the musician's mission to make the planet a cleaner place, citing his 1959 Lincoln's ability to drive from San Francisco to Alberta to New York City "without using one drop of gasoline," as he put it.
Their interview drifted toward the musician's opinion on impeaching Obama for fracking, because "it's not in the interest of the American people." To that, Colbert jokingly told the Canadian singer, "There's the door!"
Check out the interview segment of Young's Colbert Report appearance below:
And after coming back from commercial, Colbert and Young delighted the at-home and in-studio audiences with a duet of "Who's Gonna Stand Up?" –– after the musician was done joking around with the host, of course. You'd think after all these years of playing on television he'd understand how it all worked. Apparently not...
Watch that here:
Be sure to tune into The Colbert Report weeknights on Comedy Central at 11:30 p.m. Young's memoir, Special Deluxe, is available now!
