    "Down in the basement!"

    It's funny - compare this incident to the infamous Exit 57 sketch, "Down in the Basement," in which Colbert repeatedly and enthusiastically makes out with Paul Dinello (hopefully it's still up on YouTube). I bet with Fonda it was simply harder to maintain as firm a barrier between his character and himself than it was with Dinello.
