Wasn't doubting it. I just didn't think it'd actually happen."If I was racist in my opinion of QB's, I wouldn't have a dog named Donovan." - downundermikeComment

Love the Colbert Report and the dude is super talented, but it's hard to say if he will translate over and do as well outside of the sharp political satire context. I wish him luck.Originally posted by Sect 236 View Post
I wonder if Stewart will put someone else on at 11:30? John Oliver would have been the heir apparent but he left to do an HBO show.Comment

GREAT choice!
I dont think "character" is much of a stretch for the real Colbert. I think he will be hilarious, have more edge than Fallon. I will really miss Dave, but Colbert will be the pick of the new litter, IMOOriginally posted by Sect 236 View PostOfficially awaiting Douchebagnacht II since

Ironic thing about Colbert is he's older than his late night competitors Kimmel and Fallon but his audience skews younger than both of them.
It's a great but risky choice for CBS.Comment

I actually think the character "Colbert" gives him a clean break.Originally posted by Irish George View PostComment

You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.Comment

Well, younger is relative when comparing current late night talk shows. Fallon's average age is 53. Kimmel's, 56. Colbert's on Comedy Central was a spry 42.Originally posted by 3rd & Inches View Post
No idea what Hall's average age was, but I doubt it was much younger than 40. Young people just don't seem to be very interested in late night tv talk shows.Comment

I like Colbert but why lock in now? We live in a light speed culture. And you build more interest by waiting.
