Late Night Highlights: Stephen Colbert Doesn't Think Huck Finn Censorship Went Far Enough

Librarians and literature critics may be furious about a new edition of Huckleberry Finn that is being censored, but not Stephen Colbert. The comic used his Comedy Central show to defend this decision, and subsequently made the best joke of the night. Elsewhere, Paul Shaffer explained the iPad to David Letterman, Jon Stewart talked Caddyshack theft and Snooki told Jimmy Kimmel about the next season of her apocalyptic non-fiction series Jersey Shore.

4. "I Will Attack You Like a Squirrel Monkey"

Last night, Snooki explained what she meant exactly by that Jersey Shore threat while on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

3. Stephen Colbert Hearts Censorship

After landing the best line of the night regarding Huckleberry Finn ("My favorite character was Jim. He was so great, I wanted one of my own."), the Colbert Report host protested that NewSouth Books is not going far enough by censoring Mark Twain's masterpiece.
