4:49Now PlayingEconomics correspondent Paul Solman’s doppelganger, “Bald Solman,” fired back after Stephen Colbert roasted a News Hour story on his show, The Colbert Report. The comedian poked fun of Solman and a Making $ense segment where he had interviewed Elmo and Grover about financial literacy and the "marshmallow test." In an online exclusive video, Bald Solman teases Colbert about his marshmallow consumption and warning he may turn into the villainous Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from “Ghostbusters.”
