I don't think he had any notable character breaks during the original episode; and you're right, he's in a very serious situation. Cracking up is not one of the things he'll have to worry about.
I would be just a little bit afraid of character!Stephen's audience. They're a Colbert Nation that doesn't think of itself as a parody.
