Own a piece of the Stephen Colbert empire (for charity!)

You have an extra 10 grand, right? Wrong? Either way, this absolutely needs to be filed under Things That Are Awesome: Stephen Colbert is auctioning off three beloved pieces from The Colbert Report‘s former set online at ColbertNation.com. I’m yelling at my computer screen now, to mimic my hero: IT’S A COLBERT NATION LIQUIDATION. First up: The interview table of yore (currently at $9,300), which has been lovingly “buffed to a shine by my scorn.” Chairs not included because two production assistants probably rolled them home, or at least they did if they were smart. 100 percent of this week’s profits will benefit the American Red Cross’ Haiti relief. 11 hours left!

This week’s item is the C-shaped desk, and during week three  Colbert will somehow part with the Season Four Portrait, which truly embodies the spirit of the auction’s slogan, “Own a Piece of Histor-Me.” AT&T will match the winning bid, so, as Colbert said on Monday night’s show, “Let’s jack up the price until their wallet aches.”

What would you do with, or on, Colbert’s interview table if you got it? No, not that! Other things. Or, that.

    if I had $9,000, you know I’d be all over that auction. sadly, I’m a normal-ish person, and will just have to be satisfied with watching Colbert four nights a week.

    That interview table would fit perfectly in my smallish dining area! The C desk would make a great desk in my classroom and the portrait would hang above my fireplace. Alas, I am poor!

    I would get a picture made of me standing in front of a fireplace with the Colbert in front of Cobert in front of Colbert portrait :) .

    too bad the chairs aren’t included. If they are real and not knock-offs, they were at least $1200 each new. and too bad the table is ugly.
