NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) – Stephen Colbert paid tribute to Steve Jobs on Thursday’s “Colbert Report,” calling him “a visionary who changed the way we use computers, listen to music, communicate, and stay awake in meetings.”

After playing a montage of all the free Apple products he’s received, he offered a thank you as simple and elegant as Jobs’ best inventions.
