The show started promoting Colbchella '013 on the air last week, so I think it reasonable that there's been some work on at least some part of last night's performance well in advance. Heck, last year Colbert did Colbchella '012 from the Intrepid, which involved melding in-studio and onboard footage.
As for Daft Punk, they've been around for a long time, and featured heavily on the Tron:Legacy score. Not to be confused with Kraftwerk, which is the group Craig and Geoff were aping for a few shows earlier this summer.

My problem was that until last night I literally had never heard of Daft Punk (I have now found out they are a real group that really does have the #1 song of the summer, and I guess that really was the song that was being played over that montage). For much of the whole bit I thought the whole thing was just a faux controversy leading up to the ultimate guest (whose song, and video, I am familiar with) who I assumed had been planned all along. Later, after some investigation, I discovered that the whole thing was real (or as real as things get in Colbert-land). I think that montage was originally planned as a lead into to Daft Punk, and would have worked fine in that way. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
