Stephen Colbert gets his head shaved by Gen. Raymond Odierno at Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq.

Colbert shaved his head in honor of the troops serving in Iraq.

He is filming four shows in Iraq this week. They are being taped in Saddam Hussein’s Al Faw Palace. They will air Monday through Thursday next week.

Colbert is trying to raise awareness about the ongoing war in Iraq which he feels is deserving of more media coverage.
