Stephen Colbert and celebrity friends ‘Get Lucky’ to Daft Punk hit

Sure, the president was on “The Tonight Show� Tuesday, but it was Stephen Colbert who easily had the most memorable moment of the night.

To celebrate his annual summer concert series, “StePhest Colbchella ‘013,� the host donned tube socks and roller skates and boogied down to the song of the summer, Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.� He was joined in the celebration by a slew of celebrity friends, including Hugh Laurie, Jeff Bridges, Charlie Rose, Jimmy Fallon, a plaid leisure suit-wearing Bryan Cranston and, naturally, Henry Kissinger. While Colbert’s musical abilities are already well-known, the “Get Lucky� dance session proved the comedian knows how to cut a rug too.

The video, which by Wednesday morning had already been shared thousands of times on Facebook, also put a positive spin on what was shaping up to be a giant headache for Colbert. As the host explained at length and, as usual, with great humor, Daft Punk had agreed to appear on “The Colbert Report.� But, thanks to a clash with his corporate overlords at Viacom over a scheduled performance at the upcoming VMAs, the mysterious, helmet-wearing French duo backed out.

This put Colbert, who had secured a sponsorship deal with Hyundai predicated on Daft Punk’s performance, in a sticky situation – one that, on the air at least, he skated out of with ease.
