Sorry about the hiatus...
So I just had the misfortune of watching David Letterman interview his heir apparent, Stephen Colbert. I understand that Dave wants to retire and actually spend time with his family before he kicks the bucket, and I'm sure Colbert is a great guy and all, but holy shit! I want to like the dude, but he just seems like a lame, boring dweeb. He appears confident enough, but doesn't seem to have the "it factor" possessed by Dave, Leno, and even the host of the Late Late Show, Craig Ferguson. I tried to have an open mind when he did his Top Ten List, but it sounded like the laugh track was cranked to eleven as he read his way through it-there is no way possible the audience was laughing
that hard at unfunny Santa drinking jokes. As I watched the interview, I couldn't help but think his shows will be a snooze-fest, with him trying really hard to be edgy. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict the new show will be a catastrophic failure of Chevy Chase Show proportions. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if Colbert's show made Jimmy Fallon seem like a viable late night option. At least there's still Craig Ferguson, with his lipstick-wearing horse and gay robot skeleton. Best of luck, Mr. Colbert.
