Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger and David Javerbaum, executive producer of "The Daily Show," have written an hour-long musical called "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All," which will air Nov. 23 on Comedy Central nd be released on DVD.

The eight new songs include: "There Are Much Worse Things To Believe In," a duet between Stephen Colbert and Elvis Costello, "Nutmeg," which pairs Colbert with John Legend, "Little Dealer Boy," which teams him with Willie Nelson, and "Hanukkah," where he joins Jon Stewart. Toby Keith will handle "Have I Got a Present for You" and Feist will sing "Please Be Patient."

A portion of the proceeds from the DVD sale will go to Feeding America.
