And the Winner Is...

...The battle of the Ice Creams happened last night. And oh what a fight it was. A negotiator had to be called because it became so vicious. For those of you that do not watch the Colbert Nation, and I feel sorry for you, it began a few weeks ago…

The owners of Ben and Jerry announced the release of the newest ice cream flavor for the year: Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream. They were invited to the show to help exploit this already wildly popular flavor. Then it happened, they stabbed Stephen where it hurts the most, his ego.

It just slipped, that they had also released a flavor named for Country Music icon Willie Nelson.


If you know anything at all about Stephen, this meant war. He waged a one Colbert Nation campaign against Willie’s Peach Cobbler. He even released a whole one attack ad against the ice cream and Willie himself.

Anyway, Willie came on the show last night for a final face-off. It could’ve gotten a lot uglier had they not called in our UN Ambassador, Richard Holbrook. There was a taste off and well, Willie admitted that SC Americone Dream was in fact “good.” After the show Stephen was invited onto the Honeysuckle Rose. That's not an every day occurance. Why Toby even wrote a song about his experience aboard the Rose. Stephen does say, however, that he did not get a contact high. I wonder...

So, there you have it. Stephen won. Now, go forth and buy Ben and Jerry’s Americone Dream and Peach Cobbler ice creams!
