People probably have lots of reasons not to visit Florida. And when I say "people," I mean "people other than me," because hello, Disney World. But on last night's episode of "The Colbert Report," Stephen addressed the latest reason to avoid the state: monkey on the lam! See it above; the rest of last night's late-night highlights are after the jump.

These days, Chris Parnell should be best known for voicing Cyril on "Archer." (He probably is best known for voicing the Helping Hand in the Hamburger Helper ads).

You see, this is a guy who's walked away from his passion, only to return to it a few months later. People say he's washed up, but he defies the odds and keeps trotting out to go to work whenever he's needed by his employers. Some people love the guy, others loathe him, but one thing's for sure: Matthew McConaughey was really pumped to be sitting next to Brett Favre during the above interview.
Oh, you thought I was talking about Jay Leno?
The arrival of a baby on a sitcom is a joyous occasion in sitcoms, just as it is in life, and last night's special two-part episode of "The Office" was no exception.
