【Dagmar Bürger】

The Dagmar Bürgergovernment shutdown is still (still!) happening, so Stephen Colbert has joined the growing cohort of celebrities assisting furloughed federal employees.

On Thursday's episode of the Late Show, he announced he'd be selling mugs and donating all proceeds to World Central Kitchen. The operation is run by chef José Andrés and is currently operating an "emergency kitchen" in Washington, D.C. for government workers who aren't getting paid -- even though many of them have returned to work.

Appropriately, the mugs read "Don't even talk to me until I've had my paycheck." They are available on the CBS online shop and cost $14.99 apiece.
