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?
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.

I guess that whole #CancelColbert thingy really took off.

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?
