Wasn't Colbert himself when he hosted the Correspondence Dinner and kill? He'll be great. Simmons wrote a solid article about the way the late shows are becoming internet driven (fallon as Kimmel) I wonder what Colbert will do to put his spin on it. And whoever said he can't interview is wrong. He's quick as hell on his feet.

It's not hate, I fukks with Colbert, but wondering if he can pull it off late night without the satire is going to be interesting.

oh god i hope so


i hope this works out for colbert but honestly i dont like the report that much.. he's a TERRIBLE interviewer
:dahell: He doesn't ask generic questions that will bore the audience, he asks more engaging questions from standpoint of something who obviously didn't read not inform of the issue. I'm not seeing how he terrible interviewer.

I am just surprised by the negative reaction. Colbert is a talented and engaging entertainer. To me he was the natural choice to replace letterman. His guest love him and to me he has that same sense of humor. I just thought he would receive a more positive reaction. he should do great.

by about a 1/4 of the way in, he is more just fascinated, rather than doing any character at all

I guess it's a prestige thing, but him and John were already beating the networks ratings wise with 18-49 demographic.

This is interesting because I like most people only know Colbert from the Daily Show and Colbert Show where he was always playing a character.

That Daily Show alumni list is :bendaras:
