CBS names Stephen Colbert as Letterman replacement

Sounds like a good call to me, though I will miss the Colbert Report, what do you think?

id rather have the colbert report but that show has been around long enough and i think colbert could create another gem with the late night show.

will def open up the subject matter he can touch on.

I definitely enjoyed the Colbert Report, even though I didn't watch every night. Good luck to him, I think he will do fine.

I haven't been able to stand late night talk TV since Johnny Carson retired. I will check it out here and there for only a few minutes at a time. The worst one to me is Craig Ferguson and that skeleton and horse he talks to, How anyone older than 5 would be amused at that is beyond me.

Holy shit! Colbert report is my show, wow, torn but gotta give Colbert respect

Kimmel and Fallon are both great. I haven't had the chance to check out Seth Myers yet.

Late night TV seems to be in pretty good hands.

Colbert's my favorite since Letterman so this sounds good to me. :headbanger:

i'm not sure what we'll be getting though, so i doubt he's going to carry over his blowhard persona. we'll see i guess.

I'd like them to have gone with Jon Stewart

Yeah, I assume he'll drop the character for show. Otherwise, he'd risk losing half his audience. I still hope he sticks with some political focus, he's brilliant at it.

Here's an interesting article on Slate.com about how is as when not in character. The Letterman interview is good.
