One of Allison Janney's favorite acting exercises involves dramatic, in-character renditions of nursery rhymes — well, that or bad 1970s love songs. Stephen Colbert rose to the challenge on Monday's Late Show, presenting Janney with the lyrics to Foreigner's 1978 hit "Hot Blooded." With just a ballpoint pen as a prop, the pair really threw themselves into the performance, and there's a good chance you'll never year "Hot Blooded" the same way again.
