After receiving the most votes at NASA’s website, actor Stephen Colbert won the contest to put his last name on the next ISS module to launch into space. After deeming the situation inappropriate, NASA decided to name the module “Tranquility” and gave Colbert a consolation prize. After all, he did give the International Space Station a boost in popularity on his show “The Colbert Report.” His prize? NASA came up with this acronym: C.O.L.B.E.R.T. is the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill. Better than nothing, I guess. Check out his response video above.

Contrary to what people have tweeted, actor Jeff Goldblum is still breathing. Shortly after MJ passed away, the Twitterverse rapidly spread what is now a comical rumor that Goldblum had passed away on the set of a film in New Zealand. He did not die and he is currently in Los Angeles. Mr. Stephen Colbert tackles this rumor head on with a special guest (wonder who that may be?).
