President Obama Cut from Star-Studded 'Colbert Report' Final

An audio recording has surfaced of President Barack Obama and Stephen Colbert rehearsing “We’ll Meet Again” backstage at the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University. According to ThatsAPhotoGuy, the YouTube user who posted the audio, “their mics were still live and transmitted the audio to the media room backstage … While there isn’t video from them actually singing (they were backstage away from the media room), I was able to record it.”

While the video doesn’t make clear why the President was cut from the star-studded sing-along, he can clearly be heard rehearsing the song with Stephen Colbert. President Obama was the featured guest on the December 8th, 2014 episode of ‘The Colbert Report’ titled, “Stephen Colbert Presents: Mr. Colbert Goes to Washington D.C. Ya Later, Legislator: Partisan is Such Sweet Sorrow: A Colbert Victory Lap, ‘014.”
