My impression is that Colbert is actually
pro-Wikipedia. He'll make
mincemeat out of anyone who doesn't grasp his kind of humour. When he
was on Jimbo showed himself able to roll with the punches. By contrast
when Colbert asked Andrew (Cult of the Amateur) Keen what he thought of
Wikipedia, Keen appeared very uncomfortable. Keen's pomposity is easily
deflated. Someone without a sense of humour that appears on Colbert
would do just as well to appear on Jerry Springer.
I think it was pretty clear from the Jimbo interview that he is a big
fan (he said as much in his honest voice at the end). Andrew "I really
need to be slapped" Keen appeared as assholish as he does everywhere.
Even a little bit more so (few people can "out-jerk" the
Colbert-character), if that's possible.
