Johnson campaigns on Comedy Central

Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson is about to sit for a second interview with faux pundit Stephen Colbert.

The libertarian presidential candidate is scheduled to appear on the Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report" on Monday.

Colbert's website has Johnson listed as the governor of New Mexico even though it's been 10 years since Johnson, then a Republican, was actually in charge of the state.

Johnson last appeared on Colbert's program in May 2010 when he defended his pro-legalization stand on marijuana in the face of Colbert's observations like, "One puff of that stuff and all the people around you have the head of a wolf."

In April 2011, Johnson announced he was running for president as a Republican.  But after being shut out of campaign debates, he jumped to the Libertarian Party in December saying the he wasn't leaving the Republican Party, the party had left him.
