Big News: Colbert To Replace David Letterman On Late Show
As a one-time fan of David Letterman (back in his NBC days) and a big-time fan of Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report, today's news that the latter funnyman is taking over the former's spot on The Late Show is both exciting and worrisome. Colbert's on-screen persona as a staunch conservative buffoon is, presumably, not the one taking over the hosting role on CBS. It'll be the real Stephen Colbert, I would imagine, sitting behind the desk, rather than the satirical character he first developed on The Daily Show. If so, it's exciting to think that we'll get to know the real man, but sad to consider losing the great figure he spent so many years perfecting. I guess we'll have to wait and see just how it all plays out, though.
