Stephen Colbert To Be Letterman's Successor

ralphart (70342) writes "CBS has announced Stephen Colbert will replace David Letterman on The Late Show, after Letterman retires in 2015. 'Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career,' Colbert said in a press release from CBS. 'I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead.'"

    So no change then. One boring excuse for a comedian that I haven't watched in years being swapped in for another boring comedian that I haven't watched in decades.

    The Kissinger comment inclusion is simply sloppy mixing. Colbert is also criticizing the Nobel people - that's all. It's wishful thinking to conclude that that negates his stand on Snowden.

    However, I believe Colbert doesn't even understand fully what the Snowden revelations were about. Some of his humor is so lame from a tech perspective, you must give him a rather low rating in terms of understanding.
