Let's Talk About that Time Lil Buck and David Hallberg Were on the Last "Colbert Report"

Last night, “The Colbert Report” came to a close. But Stephen Colbert isn’t one to go out with a whimper. Instead, the final episode of his genius political show featured an epic musical finale, with appearances by about a gagillion guest stars who sang and danced their little hearts out.

Prominent among them were none other than Lil Buck and David Hallberg—who, naturally, had the best dance moves of the entire group. (Hallberg even waltzed with Katie Couric, as one does when one is a dancer standing next to Katie Couric.)

But who has better hair?

Seem a tad random? It isn’t, actually! Both of the dance stars made memorable guest appearances on “The Colbert Report” in the not-so-distant past. Last year, Lil Buck walked Colbert through the entire history of Memphis jookin (which is totally fascinating), complete with demonstrations. And back in 2011, shortly after Hallberg announced he’d be joining Moscow’s Bolshoi Ballet, he got Colbert to don tights for a little balletic duet. Bless you, Stephen Colbert, for calling attention to some of the coolest people in the often-overlooked dance world.

Check out last night’s song-and-dance number below—and then take a little walk down memory lane and watch the original Lil Buck and David Hallberg segments. We’ll miss you, “Colbert Report”!
