On The Colbert Report last night Stephen decided he wanted "in" on this Occupy Wall Street action, in hopes that he could co-opt it the way Dick Armey branded himself as Mister Tea Party. And so Colbert took the limo down to Zuccotti Park dressed as Che Guevera, so he could blend in. But soon after he arrived, those corporate masters on Wall Street decided to unleash a thunderstorm onto the protesters and Colbert, who fought back with the best means at their disposal: a dance party.

Soon Colbert tired of protesting, and proceeded with two representatives of Occupy Wall Street to a luxury hotel suite overlooking the park. What ensues is one of the most amusing Colbert interviews in recent memory, as he struggles to grasp how the Occupy Wall Street process works—and how he can take it over to spread his own message. After the two earnest protesters explain the "temperature check" finger-wiggling signal to Stephen, he wonders, "Are we taking this temperature orally, or rectally?... And how... and why?"

Update 11/2: Here's part two of Colbert's interview with Ketchup and company.
