Sorry, Mariah Carey; Christmas doesn’t really start until someone says “Remember this?” and posts a link to Stephen Colbert’s actually-very-brilliant “Another Christmas Song,” which I don’t think anyone has done yet, so: you’re welcome, and aren’t you so glad I’m around? (For some reason, I can’t find the real video of the song anywhere, so we will have to settle for this janky slideshow instead.)

Today is Colbert’s last episode of the The Colbert Report; he starts at The Late Show this summer. What will he be doing in the meantime? Probably reading all the really nice things people have to say about him: Vulture rounded up 49 celebrities and grilled them from some nice words about Colbert. Questlove’s is the best:

Once, when the show came to Philadelphia and it was the Roots and Michelle Obama. And we decided we were going to do “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Jimi Hendrix-style. And when my guitar player decided to bash the guitar, a piece of the wood came flying right for my forehead. And I had to be all cool, but I was bleeding.
