Need some background?

Monkey on the Lam first appeared in August 2007 after a monkey escaped and went “on the lam” in Wisconsin. It has recurred occasionally, featuring stories of escaped monkeys, but mostly revolving around Colbert’s disappointment upon the discovery that whatever story is being profiled has been resolved and will not need follow up, giving him no excuse to use the graphic featuring a monkey riding a lamb and firing a gun. A “Lobster Edition” of the segment was also featured, using the same graphic.
