Stephen Colbert may have been joking, but when he asked his "supporters" to send the campaign money to South Carolina schools instead, they received $59,000 almost immediately. Shows you how much power people like Colbert really have.
Edit: It didn't start with Arnold (see below). It started with Ronald Reagan.

There are several and unfortunately they were elected. Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and probably the biggest joke, Franklin Roosevelt.

In George Burns' autobiography he talks about Gracie Allen campaigning, and I think relates that she was the first joke candidate

It started with Arnold Schwartzenegger. Now entertainers want to be just like him and go in politics. :)
