Watch Stephen Colbert Debate Clint Eastwood's Empty Chair

The country was abuzz on the final day of the Republican National Convention, not because of the speech delivered by presidential nominee Mitt Romney, but because of the one from surprise speaker Clint Eastwood. For those who missed the fun, Clint took the stage and argued with an empty chair, prompting some celebrity reactions and even a new meme.

Naturally, Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report" couldn't resist taking on the topic on his show the following night. After a bit of commentary about the speech, Colbert had a surprise guest of his own: Clint Eastwood's chair.

What followed was an eloquent debate between Colbert and the chair, in which Colbert stayed in his faux-conservative character while the chair played the part of an invisible Obama, as with Eastwood. Colbert quickly found himself struggling to keep up with the chair's solid facts and soaring rhetoric, though, and found himself on the losing end of the debate.

The chair makes some great points. Really, it might be the most inspirational chair you've ever seen.
