#GiveThem20 is the next big social challenge

Is this the new #IceBucketChallenge?

Stephen Colbert responded to John Oliver’s #GiveThem20 challenge, a new social campaign backed by American Corporate Partners, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping veterans successfully transition into the civilian workforce.

How does the challenge work? Film yourself doing 20 push-ups, sit ups or any other exercise dedicated to veterans. Then challenge two more friends and share the video.

Some not-so-subtle editing and wardrobe changes got John Oliver though the 20 push-ups he dedicated to the 1st Cavalry Division. Also, Colbert showed off no-hands push-ups dedicated to the 101st Airborne, and then challenged James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel and then either Karl Lagerfeld or the Pope.
