A couple years back, Stephen Colbert held a contest to find his new black friend after the old one started mouthing off to the press.

Did Colbert ever find an African-American buddy?

Looks like he did. (Hint: It's not Barack Obama, those two need to keep their love a secret):

Colbert and Kanye at the Comedy Central Emmy's afterparty — Wonder if Mr. West is aware that Colbert is wearing the same ecstatic grin he reserves for hugging a person of color. Come to think of it, wonder if Stephen is aware of the face he's making. Probably, right?

Special Wednesday Bonus: Here's a clip of Kanye West's new puppet show. (What? Yes.) It's called Alligator Boots and it will be on Comedy Central (explains Kanye's presence at the afterparty at least). And it's the same puppets from Crank Yankers, so if you are a fan of that show (you're not) you'll be excited by this cramazing development.
