Jane's Ace in the Hole
What makes Colbert so entertaining is watching him stay in character no matter what. (See him at the 2006 WH Correspondents' Dinner.) He gets his biggest laugh lines on his show when he has trouble getting through his own jokes. But I've never seen any guest rattle him. Jane managed to do it the way women have done it to powerful men since the beginning of time, from Cleopatra and Caesar in antiquity to Monica and Bill in modern times. Only in real life, such a thing would happen behind closed doors, not in front of the camera.
