The most significant annual religious feast in the Christian year is upon us, and last night, the late-night hosts celebrated accordingly. Jimmy Kimmel and Tom Arnold fought off evil Peeps, Stephen Colbert resurrected a Peep crime and George Lopez asked streetwalkers offensive questions about Bibles "in their sacks." The best of those segments, as well as the other highlights you missed last night while crafting the perfect CBS April Fool's joke, after the jump.

4. Peep Hate Crimes
Stephen Colbert revisited the case of one woman, whose Peep decorations caused her to be evicted from her apartment, in last night's "Easter Under Attack" segment.
