Stephen Colbert vs. Kanye West.

Earlier this week, Stephen Colbert challenged Kanye West to a sales figure showdown. Pitting his own hubris against Mr. West’s, he challenged Colbert Nation to humiliate Kanye and dethrone 808s & Heartbreak as the #1 iTunes album by buying up Colbert’s holiday compilation, A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All. With that, Colbert christened his spirited album promotion as “Operation Humble Kanye”. Kanye responded in kind by asking, “Who the fuck is Stephen Colbert?” A showdown between the two figures may well be in the works, though neither Comedy Central nor Kanye West’s publicists have said anything as of publication time.
