‘Cheating Death with Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A.’

‘Cheating Death with Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A.” is my very favorite recurring segments that the show does. I’ve been wanting to chronicle the wonderfully lovely products (with hillarious side effects) of the Prescott Pharmaceutical products for quite some time, just for fun. And with ColbertNation.com’s nifty new tagging feature, it’s now super easy to find groups of vids, including the Cheating Death segments. So, for your enjoyment, here’s the list that I’ve come up with so far. Did I miss any segments that you know of? Let me know in the comments.

All of the Cheating Death products, side effects, and video segments can be seen below the cut.
