We hope Stephen Colbert has started a new tradition. (TRADITIOOOONNN!)

Colbert must have learned a thing or two in the ways of Judaism from buddy Jon Stewart, because when he brought out the cast of Broadway’s “Fiddler on the Roof” to sing “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” and “Tradition” during “Late Night” he had the audience on their feet.

Watching Colbert fumble as he puts his beard on is the best 15 seconds of your day and words can’t describe how adorable this video is. So we’re just going to leave you to it:
