He would, IMO, have a classic, never to be forgotten field day with this debate.
Oh, well, at least we are pretty sure that none of the debaters will be on his last show. Colbert's last show was fantastically awesome. I expect to see something equally great. And sad.
Maybe Jon and Colbert could tweet the debate - that would be good!

did a live telecast of commentary during the 1992 republican convention on comedy central? He was hilarious. He was doing the commentary during the speeches, not after. He was pretty quick on his toes. As I remember it, it was as much liberal commentary as it was comedy.
