CBS has announced that Stephen Colbert will replace David Letterman on "The Late Show," leaving one really important question unanswered: if Stephen Colbert becomes David Letterman, who then will be Stephen Colbert? Never fear. We've compiled an incisive and trenchant and helpful list of 13 People Who Should Be Your New Stephen Colbert.
That's the most likely choice. It won't be the Colbert/Oliver Report or particularly resemble the old show, but he's the natural choice to 'keep it in the family' to fill the slot
I don't know what CBS has in mind, but I can't see Colbert settling into just another show with a topical monologue and celebrity chat.
Who better to land the eagle than Wasilla's own tundra talkin' twat of half-term quitterdom grifterdom? Palin could even be pronounced in the French manner and how about that Hank Williams Jr. Orchestra?
She couldn't carry off Colbert's faux-conservative schtick . . . but then again, who could? She would totally kick ass as a host, but how does she avoid being "The Black Jon Stewart"?
But what's on DuMont?
Actually I am sort of proud that I don't know the difference.

Paul F. Tompkins.
Dr. Zoom
Ronan Farrow...are you shitting me? It&#039;s not his <i>show</i> that sucks.
My vote goes to Louie Gomert. He&#039;s every bit the performance artist Colbert is.
If nominated, I will run. If elected, I will <strike>quit my day job</strike> snark.

I&#039;m puzzled, though. Have they hired Steve Colbert or have they hired Stephen Colbert?
Squirrel!

I will miss The Colbert Report. Seems like The Tonight Show just sucks the funny out of people after awhile.

Yeah, that&#039;s the thing that makes no sense. Maybe they agreed to let him control the guest list?
