VIDEO: Watch James Franco's Evil Twin Frank James-O on 'The Colbert Report'
by Andy Neuenschwander
Stephen Colbert has beef with James Franco: "Why is he the 'Renaissance Man' and not me?" Colbert whined on "The Colbert Report" last night.
Colbert ran through a comically long laundry list of Franco's recent achievements, including his many academic endeavors, his forays into painting, his guest appearances on "General Hospital," his film appearances, and his hosting duties at the The Academy Awards.
But Colbert has his own list of accomplishments, including his Korean pop-stardom, his foray into Olympic speed skating, his many musical endeavors, and more. I mean, the man has his own ice cream flavor! And, as Colbert himself reports, he is also an all-important free Pepsi winner.
So Colbert, in attempting to discover James Franco's weakness, had Franco's evil twin Frank Jameso on the show. The result is a very funny sketch in which Franco pokes fun at himself over the Oscars hullaballoo, makes an articulate point about the intellectual curiosity of the average American, and reveals that he can't stop learning for one second.
