David Letterman to retire from 'Late Show' in 2015

[T-post Tom]

That puts him at right around 33 years on nightly t.v. Wow. Amazing. Wonder if Bill Murray will be on his last show... You know Chris Elliott will be back and there'll be a tribute to Larry Bud. You can tell it's time for him...but still sad. End of an era.

Colbert was originally pronounced Kohl-BERT. He started pronouncing it Kohl-BEAR when he went to college to reinvent himself, and then carried the joke over to the show.

Speaking of names, Great Character Break? Or, The Greatest Character Break?

And Stephen isn't going to maintain his Colbert Report persona on a late night show, but he's still swift and bright and bring a good interview.

And there is the problem. He is screwed either way. If he acts like his normal self, his Comedy Central fans with be pissed because it's not the guy they like. If he acts like the "Kohl-Bear" character, the mainstream audience won't like it. Either way, NBC and Fallon win.

You clearly don't watch his show.

Colbert shrugs off the character constantly on the Report, especially in interviews. He's incredibly charismatic, and his fans will follow him anywhere.

Chelsea Handler can die in a dumpster fire, I hope to never see her on tv again... I watched her interview Russell Brand a while back and it actually made me LIKE Russell Brand in spite of myself.

She really thinks she's something, but she really sucks.

I think her stand up comedy was pretty good back in the day.

She just hit a really comfortable, profitable niche on E! as being a huge "don't give a shit" girly host on E!.

She'd be a bad host for late night TV on a network, but that niche will pay her handsomely for the rest of her days.

There is no justice in the world.

Huh ?

I've listened to Brand on Stern a few times. Actually a very interesting and intelligent dude.

She is a pure Hollywood twat who would sell her soul for an exclusive interview with GaGa and probably thinks the Kardashians are "awesome".

Gotta admit, used to hate his guts... but dude has grown on me a bit, he actually comes off as the more humble and oddly down to earth of the two, after watching that clip it led me into this one, where he really takes these MSNBC jackoffs to task, he took their shit over, it was a bit of a revelation.

He ends up owning all of them...

Right, seriously... what was up with the blond behind the desk, she's supposed to be a professional newscaster and yet she's acting like an eighth grader watching a porn star wag his huge dick around, but all he was doing was being himself and answering questions honestly.

He came off as the only one who knew what the **** he was doing.

She's seriously a twit. She's the one who reacted to Miley Cyrus like she simultaneously put a Donkey Show and killed a disable veteran.

They should try to lure Craig Kilborn back onto the network.

I'd just as soon he stick with his radio show and 4+ hours on a daily basis. My only wish is he would go back to 5 days. I'd really like if he at least did 4 days and have a Friday show. Have an off day on Wednesday or Thursday.

He's just off so much, but lately he's seemed happier with doing the show, so I'll take his abbreviated schedule versus him hanging it up for good.

I honestly think he'd go crazy if he ever tried to retire from everything. He's even said if he did he'd probably stream an open mic and just **** around from his house over the Internet.

I'd love for him to do 4-5 days, but it's never happening again. It's a shame.

I'm an enormous fan, but I've become more of a fan of Sal, Richard and Ronnie than Howard over the last 2-3 years.

I'm hoping that Stern uses the model that WWE has with their network to stream video over that. Get the old uncensored E episodes, old channel 9 stuff. I'd pay 10-15 bucks a month for that easy.

[Direckshun]

I would go with Fey, Colbert, Degeneres, or Seinfeld in that order if I were CBS.

I actually don't mind the 3 day schedule. As a guy that only started listening about 5 years ago, I like the days off because I get to hear the classic tapes from yesteryears.
