Stephen Colbert Has a Houston Problem

Geographically challenged joke sparks #HoustonIsGreat.

On Tuesday night’s Late Show, Stephen Colbert made a crack about Houston being a tough consolation prize for exiting Republican candidate Rick Perry. Cleverly, local TV station KHOU has turned that into a social media rallying cry.

The station urged viewers to tell Colbert why #HoustonIsGreat, and whether or not he is listening or will follow up on the show, locals are having fun with the whole thing (see below).

Certainly, Houston has the greatest NBA facial hair in the form of James Harden.
