Following the collapse of DSB Bank, U.S. Speedskating needed a new financial backer. Talk show host and mock newsman, Stephen Colbert, announced Monday that he and his fans, the "Colbert Nation," would back the team at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, just three months away.
Following the announcement, Stephen Colbert signed a document indicating the Colbert Nation was the new U.S. Speedskating backer. A picture of a speedskater wearing a "Colbert Nation" patch then appeared as the audience cheered.
