Colbert is exactly like a WWF wrestler gimmick, and he'd break character to do the Late Show and all of his fans would be weirded out by it because he very rarely has ever broken character.
So what's his crossover appeal, he would lose some of his Colbert fans and would have to win not only new fans over but also bring back some of his Colbert fans with his kayfabe break. |

He gets crushed now at 10 at TBS vs the Daily Show and even Colbert. But he'll do great if they just bring him back. |

I don't know if Colbert is the best choice, but to think he's a one-trick-pony is shortsighted. |
Didn't read the thread, but I heard that Neil Patrick Harris is rumored to be the replacement.
That would be ****ing awesome! NPH is very entertaining |
Why are people shitting on Colbert?
He would be an excellent host -- the job is just comedy writing and interviews. He can also sing and has connections to an army of celebrities. Plus he can offer substantial interviews with serious guests about shit that actually matters. He's hilarious, and anybody arguing that his appeal is "just being a character" doesn't watch his show with any regularity. My first vote would be Tina Fey, but she wants to write shows. Colbert is an excellent #2 option. |
I saw Dave in 2009. Paul McCartney was on the show that day, but they didn't announce the guest until that day. He played on top of the Ed Sullivan theater and the people inside got to sit front and center. Not only did Paul play two songs for the show, but he played about 6 more for everyone after the show. It was the best free concert I've ever been to.
The best part about that particular show however, was the fact that I got to ask Dave a question before the show. He comes out and talks to the crowd before every show and takes 1-2 questions. Mine was the only question he took that day. When he called on me, he asked my name, where I was from, and what my question was. This was about the time when he had a feud with Sarah Palin for some tasteless jokes he told about her. It was also around the time Dick Cheney shot that guy while hunting. I asked Dave "Would you rather go hunting with Sarah Palin or Dick Cheney?" The crowd and Dave laughed. Dave responded "Well Josh, I think I'd be in trouble either way". This is a fun story to tell over a few beers. |

USA Today has a (admittedly gimmicky) "Top Ten" list of who should replace Dave, and most of their Pros and Cons seem to make some sense.

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. |
