Yo is a messaging app that has one function: to say “Yo” to your friends and family members. So when comedian Stephen Colbert saw the news that Yo had raised a generous $1.2 million in funding and risen to the top of the free app charts, it was simply too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Check out the video segment from last night’s Colbert Report embedded below if you’d like to hear his take.
