STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Washington (CNN) -- Barack Obama may be the President of the United States, but for a few minutes on Monday, he was also Stephen Colbert, outgoing host of "The Colbert Report."
Obama sat down for an interview with Colbert in Washington -- his third appearance on the show -- and surprised the host by taking over the taping for a segment.
"You've been taking a lot of shots at my job, I've decided to take a shot at yours," Obama said before taking over for Colbert on "The Word," a segment where Colbert (in this case, Obama) says a line or two before a witty word or phrases flashes to the right. "How hard can this be? I am just going to say whatever you were about to say."
From there, Obama launched into a monologue about Obamacare, congressional Republicans and his last two years in office.

Obama fills in on 'Colbert Report'

President Obama, appearing on The Colbert Report, said "look, the election didn't go as it, uh as I would have liked. You notice, I made a little correction there, I had a little thought bubble."
When President Obama sat down with comedian Stephen Colbert Monday, he didn't actually loosen his necktie. But we saw a relaxed president with just two years left on the clock, playing to a receptive audience of nearly 1,500.
Here are some of the more memorable moments from the president's appearance on The Colbert Report:
Booting the host from his desk
Obama playfully took Colbert's seat on set at George Washington University, declaring "Stephen, you've been taking a lot of shots at my job, I decided I'm going to go ahead and take a shot at yours. I want you to get out of the way, what part of the segment are we in now? What were you going to be doing?"
He went on: "How hard can this be? I'm just going to say whatever you were about to say."
The president pokes fun at himself
Taking over a Colbert Report segment he renamed "The Decree" (a more presidential version of regular segment "The Word"), Obama parodied Colbert saying: "Nation, as you know I, Stephen Colbert, have never cared for our president. The guy is so arrogant, I bet he talks about himself in the third person."
