Former President Jimmy Carter has written yet another book, which means the 89-year-old is making the promotional rounds on various TV shows. And on Tuesday night, he stopped by The Colbert Report, where the Democrat traded jabs and jokes with host Stephen Colbert during a truly memorable interview.
Here are the highlights.
