It’s official: Stephen Colbert will replace David Letterman as CBS’ Late Show host.
The broadcast network has tapped the 49-year-old Comedy Central host to take over the late-night franchise.
CBS has made a five-year deal with Colbert, which was announced Thursday by CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves and CBS Entertainment chairman Nina Tassler.
“Stephen Colbert is one of the most inventive and respected forces on television,” Moonves said. “David Letterman’s legacy and accomplishments are an incredible source of pride for all of us here, and today’s announcement speaks to our commitment of upholding what he established for CBS in late night.”
He 's gonna get in so much trouble. I'm sure he's gonna tone it down for that check, but he's so opinionated he's bound to say/do the wrong thing eventually; especially with an election year right after he takes over the show.
So I am happy that Colbert is getting this opportunity, but seriously the Colbert Report is perfect. I have been watching it for so many years and Colbert is the one that has made me laugh so much all the time. He is perfect for cable. I don't know how he will work on network tv, primarily CBS.

All the controversy Dave's demo's will NAWT be here for that
