Thursday, August 24, 2006; 4:58 PMNEW YORK — While many of his television brethren have been more wary of YouTube and the Web, Stephen Colbert is urging his fans to make him a viral-video star.
On Aug. 10, Colbert showcased his lightsaber skills in front of a green screen on his Comedy Central show “The Colbert Report.” Soon, fans were filling in the background with video, placing the host in the realm of “Star Wars,” and posting them online.
Earlier this week, Colbert announced that he would broadcast the best submissions, or as he called them: “bold depictions of my heroic fight.”
Hoping for more videos, Colbert threw down the gauntlet, announcing the “Stephen Colbert’s Green Screen Challenge.” Already, a number of entries have been rolling in on YouTube, and linked at [UNSAFE SITE LINK REMOVED - THIS SITE HAS BEEN HACKED] .
The most popular include one where Colbert battles a space monster and another where he fights the legendary “Star Wars Kid” — the viral video star of yore.
