[Read the article: Fondling Stephen Colbert]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]For a few days in advance, Colbert aired video of the previous kiss from Fonda and riffed on it, puffing up his virility and desirability. So the joke here is that Fonda upped the ante by sitting on his lap and playing her desire for him so intensely it seemed to weird Colbert out. The discomfort in humor like this, remember Andy Kaufman? -- is that we aren't always who's in on the joke, and I'm not convinced Colbert realized how far Fonda was planning on taking the kiss, even if he worked out with her that she would do something. For me, this kiss and cuddle wore out its welcome -- but so did Stephen's Korean pop video the next day, which was hilarious for about a minute and then not so. I was laughing mostly, though at the kiss, and I thought Fonda seemed pretty hot.
