Appearance on the Colbert Report

During his appearance as a guest on the Colbert Report, Behrendt seemed unaware of the comedic stylings of Stephen Colbert. Behrendt became visibly agitated as Colbert staged a number of call-ins to his show and proceeded to give them horrible relationship advice against the protestations of Behrendt. Though it is also disputed that the whole segment was staged.
