House of Cards star Kevin Spacey turned the tables on Stephen Colbert quite literally Wednesday night when he snatched up some prized hardware without asking.

In the clip above, Colbert begins the sit-down interview with some digs at the Netflix original show's nine Emmy nominations, dubbing it an "Internet show" rather than a TV show.

"Why should you get an award for TV when you're not on TV?" Colbert asks. "What do you want next? The Heisman? Defend yourself."

Defend himself he does. Spacey deflects the taunts hurled at him about the holes Colbert attempts to poke in the program.

"It's obviously a fictional show," Spacey quips, "because it's also a Congress that gets sh*t done." Spacey adds that his character isn't modeled on any current political figure.

"You haven't won that Emmy yet, Kev," Colbert says, before Spacey takes off with the host's Emmy award.
