Of all the nights to fall asleep on the couch in front of the TV. I saw Stephen Colbert’s appearance on “The Daily Show,” but missed the big announcement on Colbert’s own show a few minutes later. (Clip contains a bleeped and punctuation-obscured Bad Word.)

Here, in case you missed it, is a very funny guest column Colbert had written for Maureen Dowd a few days earlier, hinting at his possible decision.
