Andrew "I really need to be slapped" Keen appeared as assholish as he does everywhere
Who could've guessed that those advocating elitism would so easily seem like elitists? Shocking.

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.
