Not only is this an entertaining segment where Stephen Colbert gets to cause a bit of mischief by being on Russian state-run television, but a great, albeit brief, look into what comedy, specifically late night, is like in Russia with Ivan Urgant’s “Evening Urgant”. 

Urgant doesn’t really push the buttons of those in power like Colbert does, but their games are a little edgier than Fallon, who Urgant uses as a frame of reference. 

Please watch, enjoy, and learn here.
