The stuff with Thomas in the press room was all edited footage, but she did participate in filming the chasing/stalking stuff. She said she did it "for fun."
And yeah - it wasn't that Colbert wasn't funny, it was that he was cutting way too close to the bone for those people. The truth hurts, baby.
Colbert has been a performer for a long time. He knows the whole "know you audience" deal and he could have tailored his act accordingly - I'm sure he had other people go over his act and I'm sure there were some people who said, "Whoa, you gonna say that?" But he decided to go in there in full "Stephen Colbert" mode and just let 'em have it. I'm sure a part of him thought/hoped the crowd would have a better sense of humor about it, but he knew exactly what he was saying.

Mr. Sunnyhorse and I laughed until we cried when that royal-scandal piece aired. Never stops being funny -- thanks for sharing!

I disagree with Cohen. Colbert was talking to an audience that is never, ever going to admit they're wrong. There was no reason to tread lightly; screw alienating them. Ain't that 'zackly what he did...? Yep, I think so. ETA: I am about to piss myself laughing at the JS/SC exhange.

I loved him in that "Opening Night" ep of Curb Your Enthusiasm. He runs into Larry on the street: "You're going to FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!" Ha.
