No.

The audience that appreciates Colbert's monologues, both at the Ed and at
home, isn't going to appreciate someone who just comes on to spew the
right-wing line. And while Colbert will be polite, if things do get ugly,
the Late Show has the final edit.

So even if the show tries to book more Republicans, there's not a great
deal of incentive for political types who don't have much appeal beyond the
base to go on the Late Show.
