9/26/2013 – In April 2012 American political satirist and television host Stephen Colbert interviewed Magnus Carlsen and even played some quick rock-paper-sissors games with him (Magnus won). Today Colbert did a another bit on chess – and introduced a world champion boxer as an expert on the subject. You can watch the hilarious Floyd Mayweather cameo and review the Carlsen interview.

Stephen Colbert (pronounced Coll-bair) is an American political satirist,
writer, comedian, television host, and actor. He is the host of Comedy Central's
The Colbert
Report, a satirical spin-off from The
Daily Show in which Colbert portrays a caricatured version of conservative
political pundits, focusing on a fictional anchorman who is a "well-intentioned,
poorly informed, high-status idiot." You can watch the show regularly here.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an American professional boxer, a five-division
world champion, having won eight world titles in three different weight
classes. He is probably the most successful boxer of all time, money-wise,
having earned more than $350 million in his career so far. We do not know
about a chess connection (except that he has said that "boxing is more
like chess" on
a MSNBC talkshow) and assume that he appeared in this Colbert show cameo
as a tongue-in-cheek jest. Jump forward to 2 min 25 sec to get to the chess
bit:
For the record – and for your pleasure – here is the memorable
April 2012 appearance of Magnus Carlsen on the Colbert Report (a full ChessBase
