Chameleon Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I personally think this would be a great choice! Stephen Colbert may be CBS' top choice to replace David Letterman behind the "Late Show" desk, Mashable reports.

CruelKind Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Great choice, but a better choice would be John Stewart Quote
soulJAHmon Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Hmmmmm, I like both those guys, either would be a good step into the future. 2 Quote

CruelKind Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I like Colbert well enough, but he's too locked into his character. JS is straight forward with his delivery. Much better at coming off sincere and making people hear the underlying issues. Colbert is just too over-the-top for that position. Quote
HecKler Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Anyone would be better than Letterman. It's only taking him a little longer than Leno to realize that he's a dinosaur and his schtick is unfashionable, unfunny and tepid at best. However, Stewart wouldn't be picked because he's too liberal/free thinking/political and I don't think he could be counted on to toe the political line prescribed by the network execs. 1 Quote
parrot Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Jon Stewart has a top rated show. Colbert wants/needs to break out of Stewart's shadow. Personally, I really like them both, edge to Colbert for the giant brass balls it took to pull what he did back in 2006 at the correspondent's dinner. Quote

TulsaGeoff Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 When is his first day? I googled it the other day and didn't find my answer? Quote
Raskin Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I think Colbert should stay where he is now..let some other less interesting person take that spot on late show.XD.unless he could breathe new life into it .. Quote
