I'm new to the show, I've only been watching for about 2 months, but this absolutely baffles me.

I'm hoping my WristStrong bracelets arrive in time for Dragon*Con, so I can give one to Erik Estrada, who is more famous than I am.

Colbert has taken on almost a god like status. He can get bridges in Hungary named after him, take down telephone circuits and Wikipedia and even fight Darth Maul all through the power of his audience.
He has the popularity and power that a guy like Howard Stern had in the early to mid 90's.

We know you were wondering: What could this presidential race need that Mike Gravel isn't already giving it?
What about the steely-eyed glare of Stephen Colbert? Sure, his name may sound a little French for the GOP, and he may channel Bill O'Reilly a bit too convincingly for Democrats' taste.
But here comes Mr. Colbert, filing papers to run in both parties' presidential primaries in South Carolina, per The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz. He announced his presidential candidacy on his Comedy Central program last night, ensuring that the line between politics and entertainment will be as fuzzy as a Teddy bear -- if Colbert weren't too manly for such things. (He is not pregnant, despite what he said last week on ABC's "Good Morning America.")
"After nearly 15 minutes of soul-searching, I have heard the call," Colbert said. Colbert said he planned to run in South Carolina, "and South Carolina alone," per the AP's write-up. (In case you forgot, he's hawking a book, and no, he's not giving up his show.)
Colbert's chances may be less than slim, but in today's infotainment culture, he could draw precious media attention from the second-tier contenders," Kurtz writes in the Post. "And he has a nightly platform to milk the spectacle for jokes, if not votes."
He will not be the next president, and he won't win South Carolina, either, but what will his candidacy do to the Clinton-Obama-Edwards rivalry that's percolating in the Palmetto State?

I'm trying to find a clip, but I'm not sure if I remember which show it was from. I'm pretty sure it was Colbert Report where they did a spoof timelife song duets with ahmadinejad and some other foreign leader. All the songs were like Endless Love and all that. Can anyone confirm having seen this somewhere? Did I dream it? Thanks for reading.
