"This Sept. 8, 2010 publicity photo released by Comedy Central shows host Stephen Colbert appears on ""The Colbert Report,"" in New York. Colbert's ""song of the summer"" special was either a real-life corporate tiff over Daft Punk or the most elaborately-planned _ and funniest _ corporate cross-promotions in memory. On his Comedy Central show Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2013, Colbert said he had Daft Punk booked to perform the hit ""Get Lucky"" that night. But he said that on the day before, fellow Viacom Inc., network MTV had pulled rank, claiming the French dance duo had agreed to perform at the Video Music Awards on Aug. 25 and make the show its exclusive U.S. TV appearance.
