Back in the distant past, comedian Stephen Colbert performed in drag as the character "Raven," he told Late Show guest and drag queen extraordinaire RuPaul last week.

Colbert proceeded to pull out a picture of his alter ego, dressed in a thong and sporting long, flowing black hair, giving pinup girl Bettie Page a run for her money.

"Look at all that ass!" RuPaul remarked, telling Colbert he looked like Selma Blair. Colbert was photographed as "Raven" by fashion designer Todd Oldham for Wigfield: The Can Do Town That Just May Not, a book the host wrote with Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris and that has been adapted for the stage.

Watch Colbert "come out" to Drag Race impresario RuPaul as a drag queen.
