Colbert Gives Fox News Host His Number

Stephen Colbert

Fox News’ Eric Bolling claims to have a solution to America’s rising gas prices problem. It’s all there in a manila envelope. All President Obama has to do is give Bolling a call, and gas prices could go down by $1. What could possibly be in the envelope?

“Could it be a dollar?” Colbert wondered. “I have to know what’s in there.”

After Bolling flashed his direct phone number on-air, with strict instructions that only President Obama reach out, Colbert did the same. So give Colbert a call, Bolling, and let’s get these gas prices down.
