Please give a bit more scenario when posting such questions.

Also suggest something this recent would do in Future History.

Anyway....

Let's say Stephen Colbert did run in South Carolina as proposed on his show. Who's the most likely to vote for him? The youth vote. That cuts into Obama's support a bit. May also make his supporter demographics look 'more black'. I suspect Colbert wouldn't take away enough support to throw it to Hillary, and given the already existing disparity in white/black votes in the state, I'm not certain his shifting of votes would make analysis notably different.

Overall, South Carolina with Colbert is just 'more so' than it was OTL, and I think its effect would be negligible (though a lot of fun).
