What is pulling a Stephen Colbert?

When you get something named after you.

Originates from the fact that Stephen Colbert is the "undisputed king of getting things named after"* him. He has a sea turtle, a Ben & Jerry's ice cream, a bald eagle, a trapdoor spider, and many other things named after him.
