I would like to think that maybe the idea Colbert and his writers had here was to illustrate that the trained monkey will be happy to dance for anybody that yanks his chain and throws him some peanuts?
Let’s pay him to be on stage as a punchline to a joke, why not.
Anyway they envisioned it - it backfired. And as a joke it would actually have been a lot funnier if nobody in the studio audience had laughed.
