Somehow I think you don't watch the show. You have to understand this in the context of the show where he does this sort of thing often. It's a parody of over the top news media personalities. I guess you just don't get it. It's not supposed to be "funny funny". Also Colbert is probably more highly rated and watched by more college age students than many sports. This is Ontario Major Junior Hockey getting exposure on one of the most talked about and watched late-night shows in the U.S.
Most of the time, Colbert is not especially funny but it's always entertaining and mildly intellectual.
