Stephen Colbert Offers Funny Get-Well-Soon Message to Injured Staffer (VIDEO)

On 'The Colbert Report' (weeknights, 11:30PM ET on Comedy Central) Stephen Colbert passed along a get-well-soon message to an injured staffer in a way that only he could.

"Before we get started, I just want to give a quick shout-out to our writers' assistant C.C. Latearer who is laid up with some injuries," Colbert explained.

"Over the weekend she got a little hurt. So what happened was, she was in a bar in the East Village when Ultimate Fighting Champion Brock Lesnar starting hitting on C.C.'s mom, and C.C. told him to step off -- words were exchanged, punches were thrown."

"Then, C.C. spotted some orphans outside being harassed by a street gang. She stepped in, armed only with a broken bottle and Brock Lesnar's jaw bone, and she took care of bidness."

"Long story short, she got in a cab accident on the way home," Colbert concluded, cracking the audience up, and proving he's the perfect boss for the injured employee with a sense of humor.
