This is a must-see on Jeb! taking advantage of being on Colbert's new show in its first week.
The video speaks for itself.
As we all know, Colbert is brilliant. Also, if you have a chance, listen to his hour and half long interview with Howard Stern. Very insightful stuff came from it- including much of his personal history.
The guy is a genuine person with a big heart and very, very bright.
The video speaks for itself.

Hi there, internet!
Stephen Colbert here, in what might be my last pre-show web video. I'll be on TV soon, and then the only place you'll be able to see me is on the internet.
I'm so excited for the Late Show premiere on September 8th when my guests will be George Clooney and Jeb Bush. Or as the tabloids have coined them, Jeborge Clooush.
And I'm not the only one who is excited, so is Jeb, which, given his logo, is really his only option.
(shouting--like a high pitched dog bark) JEB!
In fact, Governor Bush is so pumped for the first show that he sent this email to supporters:
"Today we are formally launching our Stephen Colbert Late Show contest, where we'll fly one lucky winner to New York where they'll receive a VIP ticket to the very first taping of the Late Show with the new host. That's something you'll still be talking about 20 years from now."
Yes, you'll be talking about it 20 years from now, when the next Bush is running for office.
As the Governor points out in his email this is a huge chance to see the very first Stephen Colbert Late Show which apparently now has a new host. Gosh, I hope its Amy Schumer—she is hilarious!
To enter, all you have to do is donate $3 to Jeb's campaign.
And if you can't afford 3 dollars you're probably not voting for Jeb Bush.
And if getting a VIP ticket isn't exciting enough, Jeb sweetened the pot by including dinner with his national finance co-chair Woody Johnson.
That's right. National finance co-chair Woody Johnson. Not west coast fundraising coordinator Stiffy Longschwanz, or deputy media strategist Turgid D. Tallywhacker.
The real deal: Wall Street billionaire and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.
Smart move by Jeb to associate his campaign with the winning tradition of the New York Jets.
I think the contest is a great idea but here's the thing. No one from Jeb's campaign asked me if this was OK with me to raise money off my first show.
Where's my cut of that sweet three bucks Governor, huh? (rubbing thumb and middle finger together) Where's this stuff? (tapping his nose) House always gets its beak wet! Where's the vig, Gov?
And I'm sorry I'm yelling but again you're the one who put an exclamation mark at the end of your name!!!
Well two can play at this contest, sir.
So tonight, today or whenever you are watching this I am launching my own "Jeb Bush on the Stephen Colbert Late Show" raffle.
The lucky winner will also be invited to the premiere of the Late Show. Plus they will get to submit one non-obscene question that I will ask Governor Bush on their behalf.
For example, one question might be, "Don't you wish you'd consulted Stephen before launching your contest?"
And I might even throw in dinner with the Late Show's lead production accountant, Jason Block.
I don't give, uh, long meal breaks, so you'll probably have to just eat a muffin over at Hello Deli.
And Jason may not own the Jets but he did once play them on Madden '97.
To enter, go to omaze.com/Colbert and submit your name, email and a $3 donation which will go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund which helps injured service members and their families.
See you on September 8. Until then, I'm going to be on Jeb's site trying to score a ticket to the Late Show premiere!
