It should be interesting to see Colbert shed his current character and be himself. I'll tune in to check it, which is more than I've done with Letterman the last 15 or so years.
It would be a shame to lose the Stephen Colbert character
I wonder if the format will remain political or turn Hollywood focused
Jon Stewart would have been a better choice. He is actually funny and witty. Colbert has to play his character to be funny (which I don't think he is funny) and I don't think that will transition to late night comedy.
Colbert has won 5 Emmys, a Grammy, and a Peabody.How odd that CBS would go for someone who doesn't have an audience in his present job! CBS had to get rid of Letterman. Letterman knew it. He's just too old and other offerings are younger and more energetic. But Colbert!
You know you get cranky if you stay up late anyway
I was up till after 4 this morning watching Godfather II, for the umpteenth time.
I could have saved you the trouble

CBS names Colbert as Letterman replacement
CBS moved quickly to replace David Letterman after the late-night host announced his retirement last week. Confirming speculation, Stephen Colbert, of Comedy Central's Colbert Report, will take over the Late Show sometime next year.
Colbert, whose current contract expires at year end, signed a five-year deal to host the show, which will begin when Letterman decides to step down when his contract expires in August 2015, though he could choose to leave earlier next year.
Thanks, good to know there will still be no reason to watch any late night shows.

Should have went with Howard Stern. Colbert will phail. Looks like Kimmel and Fallon can breathe easy and fight out the ratings war between themselves.

Howard needs a long form interview show. The dude can make anyone interesting. But he's got to be on cable to allow flexibility when it comes to subject matter.

I got the impression that Letterman doesn't like Howard Stern. Stern didn't show up one night and when he rescheduled, Letterman just went through the motions in his interview. I don't know this gossip for sure but it seemed that way to me.
Besides Stern is almost as old as Letterman, he's 60. They need somebody younger and funnier.

No one will ever replace Dave.
