On his Comedy Central program, Stephen Colbert started a mock feud with the band, claiming his “green screen challenge” came first; the band countered that its 2005 on-stage lightsaber fight in San Francisco preceded Colbert’s idea. The feud culminated in a December 20 guitar solo competition on Colbert’s show, with lead guitarist Funk representing the band. After Colbert feigned a hand injury, Peter Frampton took over for Colbert and won an audience vote. Show guests got involved, with New York Governor-elect Eliot Spitzer and Dr. Henry Kissinger declaring, “Tonight, I think the American people won.”Todd Seaveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589187886030112999noreply@blogger.com
