When Stephen Colbert goes to the hospital, he makes sure to “always wear clean underwear, and carry plenty of farm animals,” which he demonstrated last night using a chicken, rabbit, parakeet, and duck.

Riffing off of Nevada Senate candidate Sue Lowden’s (R) advice to “barter with your doctor” to save money on health care, Colbert added that he also keeps a dead trout on hand just in case his doctor doesn’t eat meat.
