[The screen comes to life, and a headline running across the bottom says: Breaking News IRS to tax the dea, a shocking and unprecedented move.]

A narrator's voice rings out, "After the shocking revelation two weeks ago that the dead remain among us, cases reopen across the nation. The IRS is sending out its most dedicated agents to receive payment, with interest, from those who remain."

[The screen changes to King Phantom, a mysterious figure running away from Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, who are dressed in suits and reprising their iconic roles as Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural.]

" Stop it, Casper!" Yells Jensen.

[The screen switches to show King Phantom. He's a little blurry. Clapping is heard off-screen.]

" How many times do I have to tell you it's Phantom?" the ghost sighs. " It's not that hard to remember. He's not the only friendly ghost."

[ Jared bursts into the frame, his eyes wide with determination. The camera zooms in on him, revealing a vacuum cleaner in his hands and a clear nod to the Ghostbusters.]

" You won't get away with this?!" Jared says, sounding a bit hysterical.

" With what?" King Phantom asks, looking confused.

" Tax evasion," Jensen and Jared say together.

[ A flash of light happens, and floating above them is Misha Collins, hanging from a wire in an oversized trenchcoat.]

" Peace be upon you, for I am Castiel, an angel of the lord," Misha says as he is lowered to the ground, monotone. " You are guilty, King Phantom, like many of your brethren, for skirting the United States tax system."

" You have no proof," Phantom says, arms crossed.

[ Misha pulls out a file titled " Proof" from his coat. Misha opens it. The only thing legible is the name Danyal Phantom; the rest is all squiggles.]

" There's your proof," Misha says deadpan.

" Psh, that could be any Danyal Phantom," King Phantom says, brushing them off.

" Your social security number is * beep-beep-beep-beep*," Jared follows up.

" Nope," King Phantom says with a smirk, fangs peaking out, " you're wrong."

" But the database said–"

" Database? What database? Whoever said I was alive late enough to be in it?" King Phantom circles the actors.

[ The actors sigh.]

" You're right, there's no way to know for sure," Jared sighs, " This Danyal may not have survived as a ghost at all."

" Oh, son of a bitch," Jensen says, crossing his arms and walking off.

[ Stephen Colbert opening scene; shots of New York City and music.]

" It's the late show with Stephen Colbert! Tonight, Stephen welcomes King Phantom!"

[ A little blurry picture of the King pops up with his name under it.]

" With musical guest Ember McLain!'

[ Ember's picture pops up too.]

" Featuring John Batiste and Stay Human."

[ Shows John Babtiste coming out.]

" And now, live on tape from the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City, it's Stephen Colbert!"

[ Shot of Stephen coming out, standing ovation, shots of the band, and ends with Stephen walking downstage, ready for his monologue.]

" Welcome everybody to the Late Show. I'm your host, Stephen Colbert. First off, tonight, I want to give special thanks to Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins for taking some time out of their busy schedule to join us for our opening skit. If you have the time, you can see their panel at the New York Comicon, where they will be all weekend," Colbert says. " The UN decision about what to do about King Phantom's ultimatum is at the halfway point, and they still–"
