It appears the "Curse of the Billy Goat" has finally met its match.

"The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert boldly took on the infamous curse during a segment Thursday night. In it, he went after goats for their cheese, their beards and he even kicked one out of his studio. He also went after the curse with a chant of "GOAT, GOAT, GOAT."

It didn't work in Game 1 of the National League Division Series, as the Cubs lost 4-0 to the St. Louis Cardinals. But no one said ending the curse would be easy.

Check out the entire segment in the video below.
