Stephen Colbert writes the 'It's the End of the World As We Know It' remix that 2016 deserves

It's the end of 2016 as we know it, and Stephen Colbert and Michael Stipe feel...well, you'll see.

Colbert's special 2016 cover of R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" starts with the Zika virus and quickly dives into the rest of the year's biggest, most depressing stories. If you aren't sure whether to laugh or cry, take a cue from Stipe, who also seems unsure of how to process this year's events.
