¡Viva Esteban Colberto!

More proof that Steve Colbert is the funniest man on TV here.* But a wonky aside--how, exactly, did they make this bit? You don't see Dobbs and Colbert in the same screen together, so my first thought was they did Dobbs first and Colbert later. But Dobbs does seem to be responding to Colbert's questions and laughing at Colbert's jokes (or is he just bewildered?). Second guess: Steve and Lou did the interview in English, and then they brought in Esteban to redub the Steve segments later.

And how many takes did it take to make Steven into Esteban? Did they ring in his old high school Spanish teacher? Did she work for scale?

*And that Dobbs is the biggest gasbag.
