Stephen Colbert tips his hat (and wags his finger) at Marvel Comics because they allowed him to remain a “viable candidate” for president:
His bit about Marvel starts around the three minute and 30 second mark. Also I’m guessing that like a lot of videos, this one may not work for folks outside of the United States.
(Thanks Rich!)

That explains the glasses.

I was wondering if Colbert was going to acknowledge his presence in the Marvel universe… this was great!

He also revealed President-Elect Obama collects Spider-Man and Conan comics in this episode, and I’m pretty sure it was serious. Of course, it’s Colbert, so one never knows for sure.

I think Barack Obama collecting Spider-Man and Conan was mentioned on this blog a couple of days ago.

Joe Q. also appeared, and the video is up now. He and Colbert signed a copy of ASM #573 to lure Obama onto the set.
It’s here.

kinda funny that invisible women and elastic dads are mentioned, since Colbert was Mr Impossible on Venture Brothers
