Stephen Colbert took his show on the road this weekend and went on a ride with U.S. bobsled driver Steven Holcomb in Lake Placid.

“Having won today’s competition, you are today the fastest in the world at this,” Colbert said to Holcomb and his team. “I had to pick the fastest team. Thank you. It felt like I was being hit in the head with ice hammers. It was like losing the worst snowball fight of your life.”
