KING: Do you think you're a great American? I know you love your country. But ...

COLBERT: Well, I do love my country. I don't think I'm particularly a good American. I don't know what makes a good American. Other than somebody who -- I like people who let other people alone. I think that's a pretty good American. And I keep my hands to myself. So I'm an OK American.

KING: That was very serious, Steve. That was very touching.

COLBERT: Well, you nailed me, Larry. What can I say? You got through my armor. You got where Diane Sawyer couldn't.

Yeah, Diane Sawyer isn't really that good of a comparison to King.

That's not the relevant part. Read the blue italicized part. When he said that, he wasn't in character and was being very sincere. Wish I could find a youtube of it. The one that I found had the beginning part of the interview cut off.
