The thought that somewhere somebody was considering Chelsea Handler gave me the anger shits .... this is good news indeed. Colbert leading to Craig is ratings gold, Jerry. (well, probably not, but it works for me) |

Because I only recall him going out of character when his mom passed away. He gave testimony in front of Congress in character. It's a huge risk to give him the show without the character. |

What a polarizing issue considering most of us watch very little of any of the late night shows Right? |

Why would Stephen Colbert play a parody of a Fox News host to do the Late Show? That doesn't even make any sense! |

colberts whole bit is a parady of bill oreilly is it not? this will be interesting, why did they even bother to announce the replacement so early? They were afraid of losing colbert to another network? |

It doesn't make sense outside the constraints of that show. I'm sure there will be elements of his persona that carry over, like the general sense of self-impressed bluster, but playing a full-on caricature of Bill O'Reilly on an over-the-air late-night show is a reach, unless CBS is going to turn The Late Show into a parody of a show on a right-wing cable news channel whose demographic and relevance are dying at equally swift rates. Not that this is impossible; NBC basically turned The Tonight Show into Weekday Night Live to accommodate the lisping doofus who hosts now. |

I tried for parts of the first two evenings, and it was just not a good viewing option ... it's not 1991 anymore ... "Those days are gone forever. Over a long time ago." |

Terrible choice. It is unfortunate that the bar for late night talk show hosts has been lowered so much. |

When did it become okay for iconic, seemingly neutral institutions like Letterman's show to hire blowhards like Colbert? Total tone deaf hire. How will he resonate with LGBT and minority viewers? |
