Thanks to Jennie who found this enlightening, and hysterical, article from the NBC Olympics website:

Backstage at The Colbert Report with Katherine Reutter

“I just want to be careful of something,” Colbert said toward the end of the segment. “Do you have regular drug testing?”

“Yes, we do,” Reutter said.

“OK, Snoop Dogg is on the show tonight. I want to make sure we’re keeping you on a separate floor from him.”

This was not a joke. Reutter was actually backstage on a separate floor from Snoop — the show’s staff made sure to keep Reutter safely away from Snoop’s greenroom, for reasons that were obvious to anyone within one block of the studio. The scent managed to leak to the sidewalk, where it was noticed by members of the studio audience who were waiting to get in. Fans who arrived without knowing who Monday night’s guest was were momentarily confused, until they were filled in on the lineup.

Can you imagine?! Talk about a crazy audience experience! Here’s the interview with Stephen Colbert and Katherine Reutter if you missed it last night.
