I was wondering the same thing, but given the amount of setup required for that montage - past guests, visits to Charlie Rose/Fallon/AGT, the Rockettes in their rehearsal studio, Jon Stewart via Skype, HENRY KISSINGER! - I had assumed it was always the setup for Daft Punk's 'live' performance. Although...wouldn't they have actually performed "Get Lucky" in studio? That'd be kinda redundant.
I actually thought Robin Thicke was an adequate substitute (if, indeed, he WAS a last-minute substitute), and "Blurred Lines" is actually a really catchy tune. That being said, I think I liked this performance better: http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/blogs/2013/08/jimmy-fallon-robin-thicke-the-roots-sing-blurred-lines-w-classroom-instruments/ As an aside, I always enjoy when Colbert has some fun with the other NYC-based hosts, my favorite being the three-way rumble with Jon Stewart & Conan during the last writer's strike. Sadly, the complete video is lost to the ages, since NBC has purged any record of Conan from their website.
