The two late night talk show hosts debuted parodies of the video on their respective shows on Monday, poking fun at [West’s visual project](http://time.com/4384498/artist-vincent-desiderio-kanye-west-famous-video-sleep/). After revealing his sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez in bed next to Anna Wintour in an edited clip of the video, Kimmel cracked, “That’s the most star-studded ad for a Sleep Number I’ve ever seen! And how did Bill Cosby put all those people to sleep?” Colbert went a step further and cast himself in the video and addressed the creator himself. “I’m going to sue you right now for cutting me out of that video. Luckily, I kept the footage of my take.” Colbert deadpanned before debuting the edit. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4385936/jimmy-kimmel-stephen-colbert-kanye-famous-parody/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4385936/jimmy-kimmel-stephen-colbert-kanye-famous-parody/"},"headline":"Watch Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert Hilariously Poke Fun at Kanye West's NSFW 'Famous' Video","datePublished":"2016-06-28T18:33:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:53.250Z","description":"Talk about odd bedfellows","url":"https://time.com/4385936/jimmy-kimmel-stephen-colbert-kanye-famous-parody/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television","Music","Kanye West","stephen colbert","Jimmy Kimmel"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0f8e350514668bb9/698899c3f887dc9883e966ce/jimmy-kimmel-stephen-colbert-kanye-famous-parody.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0f8e350514668bb9/698899c3f887dc9883e966ce/jimmy-kimmel-stephen-colbert-kanye-famous-parody.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert","caption":"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert","creditText":"CBS Photo Archive—CBS via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4385936/jimmy-kimmel-stephen-colbert-kanye-famous-parody/","name":"Watch Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert Hilariously Poke Fun at Kanye West's NSFW 'Famous' Video"}}]}] ```
