Colbert's entire show is based on tongue-in-cheek parody.  In fact,
you could say the whole thing is intelligent "trolling".  It's usually
fairly funny, as the Wikipedia segment probably was.

Anyway, I'm kind of surprised he didn't mention something to Wikimedia
warning it before broadcasting that segment.
