His guest, Anne-Marie Slaughter, laughed. But Colbert had a serious point to make, and he kept grilling her about it throughout their interview. "Listen -- I'm a parent, you're a parent," Colbert said. "You can't have it all, but I can have it all? What is the thing that's different about you?"

It's a question Slaughter has faced countless times since her article "Why Women Can't Have It All" hit newsstands last month, and she was well prepared to answer it. "Women are still doing two thirds of the housework," she pointed out, "and two-thirds of the childcare." 

Colbert was ready with a simple solution. "Then -- don't!" he suggested. "Don't do that! I don't!"
