Via Hot Air, Stephen Colbert will guest-edit an upcoming issue of Newsweek.

Mr. Meacham said the idea was born from a lunch he had with Mr. Colbert at Gabriel’s near Columbus Circle.
“I was just very impressed with the range of his knowledge and he had an almost encyclopedic feel for anything that came up,” said Mr. Meacham. “As we think about ways to both inform and surprise readers of the magazine, the notion of having him as a guest editor seemed like a good one.”
It’s the first guest editor for Newsweek in its 76-year history.
The magazine’s conceit for this issue was born out of Mr. Meacham and Mr. Colbert’s meeting that day.

As they say, Newsweek has … what’s that expression?
