Stephen Colbert To Replace Letterman

[Real]

Stephen Colbert has been named as David Letterman's replacement, taking over as host of CBS' "Late Show."

Letterman announced just last week he was retiring in 2015. According to CBS, Colbert is being given a five-year deal.

In making the announcement, Colbert said, "Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead. I’m thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth.”

Colbert was part of "The Daily Show" from 1997 until leaving to host "The Colbert Report." Colbert has hosted that show on Comedy Central since 2005.

Jon Stewart seems like he would better suited for a network show than Colbert, but that's just my two cents. It'll be interesting to see Colbert minus the satire.

I don't think so.

and what pisses me off is it's half assed satire

a full on fox news parody would be great. instead colbert show is a mish mosh of news stories and observational humor

Who the hell still watches these late night shows in 2014

Bad move. Not sure the country is ready for this clown for a full hour. Plus all the old white conservatives that make up the late night viewing audience likely will be turned off from watching.
