At least some establishment figures are worried that Colbert might cause an upset in the Romney coronation. CNN has a blistering anti-Colbert opinion piece pointing out that Colbert's platform is a travesty, calling for more unemployment, more wars, more inequality. In other words what George W. Bush wanted to do and did and what George W. Romney and George W. Santorum and George W. Gingrich want and plan to do.
Colbert knows what he is doing, South Carolina does not have same day registration but registered voters can vote in the primary of either party. Colbert has already racked up a 5% showing amongst Republicans. Nobody is polling Democrats of course but it is probably safe to assume that 90% of Democrats motivated enough to vote will go for Colbert. The unknown quantity is turnout.

Liberals always trying to make a mockery out of our democracy.
what a joke! No wonder this country is in bad shape, with the likes of Colbert.
This is a real insult.
So Stephen Colbert running for President is an insult, but Donald Trump running was perfectly fine?
As Newt Gingrich said so candidly last night, its not popular to speak "uncomfortable truths". Colbert, in his own uniquely tongue-in-cheek style, is saying what is obviously true. Thats what makes it so funny. And sad.
