We've already had one big debate this week and we have an even bigger debate coming up this weekend (Saturday night, to be specific). And the back-and-forth between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama is sure to look downright tame when Bill O'Reilly and Jon Stewart hit the stage for the "Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Jungle."

Which is why The Daily Show host, Stewart, roped in a politically savvy pal to help him prep. "Obviously, with three days to go, I'm going to need some debate prep," Stewart revealed. "But who could possibly stand in for a man like The Papa Bear? A right-wing traditionalist who isn't afraid to speak his mind, an American who loves his country even more than he loves himself…and he really loves himself quite a bit?"

The answer: Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report, who's ushered in by some strapping young (shirtless) gentlemen for a mock debate…or at least to cause some shenanigans. Check the hilarious clip and don't forget to tune in to the pay-per-view debate this weekend!
