Seems kinda weird to me.

It would be like bringing in Mike Myers but telling him to do the gig as "Austin Powers". lol

I think they should have made a play for Howard Stern. But he probably would want too much money since he's making a fortune on Sirius Radio.

EDIT: Just read the CBS story. Looks like he will NOT be doing the "right wing pundit" parody character of Steven Colbert that he does on Comedy Channel and will just be "himself"
I read that Stern was one of the first people they approached, but he told them he was too busy with his radio show to do it. Like you say, that probably means he wanted too much money.
