Last week on "The Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert and Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News discussed Colbert's broken left wrist and his WristStrong campaign (think of the LiveStrong bracelets, only for wrist injuries). As Colbert put it, "Hey, Nation! Don't let the severity of wrist injuries go unrecognized!" WATCH VIDEO

On the show, Brian promised to give a WristStrong bracelet to Matt Lauer and said he would get Matt to wear it while anchoring the next day's edition of TODAY. But last week, Matt was on vacation and David Gregory was filling in.
So on Wednesday night, Colbert questioned whether Brian had ever given Matt the bracelet -- and asked the musical question, "Where in the world is Matt Lauer's WristStrong bracelet?"
Well, I'm happy to report that this morning Matt was sporting the bracelet. WATCH VIDEO

Of Colbert, Matt said to me, "We're kindred spirits. He broke his wrist, and I had wrist surgery last year. So I'm just lending my support to the cause."
The bracelets are available on the ColbertNation website, and proceeds from the sales go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, which helps injured service members and their families.
