When really the Comedy Central character just wanted the band behind 1995 hit song, “Peaches”

Stephen Colbert just booked a pretty big guest for his Monday special, “Stephen Colbert Presents: Mr. Colbert Goes to Washington, D.C. Ya Later, Legislator: Partisan Is Such Sweet Sorrow: A Colbert Victory Lap 0’14.”

“My show is going to be a star-studded evening,” Colbert promised, “because I am a star — and a stud.”

While he couldn’t get ’90s alternative rock band The Presidents of the United States of America to perform in the nation’s capital for Comedy Central, he did land the actual President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, Colbert announced on Thursday’s show.

“I am so honored to be sitting down with the man who sat down with Bill O’Reilly,” the comedian cracked.

The special takes place at The George Washington University.
