This is a solid example of a good Stephen Colbert interview. Stephen acts like the idiot he is prone to be. The guest (poet Elizabeth Alexander) manages to drag him across a vlid point or two while entertaining his insanity. And to top it all off, at some point things take an insane turn that I'm not even sure that Stephen was expecting. But in spite of that, but parties maintain their composure... somewhat.
So for those studying at home, this is how you properly handle an interview from Stephen Colbert. Entertain his notions for a few minutes, drop a valid observation or two, ride out the crazy part, and then wait for him to eventually steer the topic back towards something reasonable and related to you (which Colbert will actually do at some point because, well, he's not actually insane).
