I think you've forgotten how aggressive Letterman was when he started out. The censors were up in arroars. Also, keep in mind: Colbert was a staff writer on SNL. The Colbert Report was a foil for the Daily Show and Colbert was definitely playing a role, but prior to that role he showed some impressively diverse chops.
