Stephen Colbert says he will perform "Friday," Rebecca Black's viral hit, with the Roots on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" on Friday -- if Colbert and Fallon's $26,000 donations to DonorsChoose.org, a charity that helps students in need through school donations, are matched by fans.
Fallon and Colbert announced the initiative on Monday's "Late Night."

The quasi-rival late night hosts have become chummy of late -- with Fallon appearing on "The Colbert Report" a day after Ben & Jerry's debuted a new flavor, "Late Night Snack," in his honor. (Colbert already has his own Ben & Jerry's flavor: "Americone Dream.")
To this point, just $2,923 has been donated, but it’s early.
Note: despite the show's date -- April 1 -- Fallon's producers claim that the charitable stunt "is not an April Fool’s joke."
