Colbert gets the skinny on the duties of astronauts on the ISS: They're janitors.
"I'm the flight engineer No. 2, which basically means I do whatever they need me to do. We spend a lot of time keeping it running, keeping it ship-shape and doing some scientific experiments and a bunch of otther stuff," Reisman explained.

"Are you saying you are janitor with a Phd," asked Colbert.

"I'm a bit of a glorified janitor. That is probably a pretty good description. I do a lot of cleaning," Reisman acknowledged.
I know he's trying to be funny, but it's not too far from the truth.
