"Pron" as code for "porn" dates back to at least 1989, probably farther but I wasn't online (unless you count Compuserve) until then. Usually spelled "pr0n", sometimes spelled "pron" or "prawn" or "n0rp". It was so users could get around the wordfilters on their work and school networks. The likelihood that Colbert has been exposed to that usage approaches 100%.
