I saw show #7, so it's possible things have changed since, but I'd say the show ran on TV pretty much as it ran in the Ed. Stephen did blow a line during the inaugural "Hungry for Power Games" segment which required a retake, and a desk bit on mobile apps for the D block(?) was taped but didn't make it to air (possibly because Apple's Tim Cook ran long - the bit was subsequently redone a few nights later). The biggest artificial delay, as noted above, was the break into the E block while the band was setting up; Jon and Stay Human went mobile at that point to keep the crowd lively, and Stephen stepped out into the house to take some more questions to cover the time.
Also noted above, there really wasn't much to do while waiting to enter the Ed - the screens in the lobby were running the webisodes from the Colbrt app & the Eminem 'local news' bit, but the audio was down so you couldn't actually hear it.
