Hate the idea.
Not because I don't like Colbert, but because I'm actually a big fan. I'd be surprised if moving to a network doesn't completely dumb down and kill the creativity of the show.
Terrible news.

Re: Colbert to replace Letterman
Not sure I like it. Stephen Colbert IS Stephen Colbert, the character. Though he definitely has the intellect, wit and charisma to take over for Letterman. Tough assignment for him!
Another name I had heard being thrown around is Craig Ferguson. Would have liked him to get some more recognition, though he probably does work best as the late night underdog/outsider. He's IMO the funniest of all late night host. Best monologues and interviews for sure and not as over-produced as Jimmy Kimmel

Re: Colbert to replace Letterman
most people with that much talent don't want to play the same role forever. his character will be missed, but this probably had to happen one day.
anyway, he and his staff have a year to develop a top-notch show. i'm sure he'll be fine. in fact he'll probably be the most talented dude in the genre, although whether that's enough to beat fallon is unclear. i mean, when a doofus like leno is top dog for so long, you know it's not about talent.
stewart and some other people have said that colbert has gears that the public hasn't seen yet. i believe them.

Re: Colbert to replace Letterman
I think the talk show industry is still trying to recover from the four months Magic Johnson's "Magic Hour" was on the air. J/S Originally Posted by DuMa
