Even though the timeslot will be up against Colbert, I can't imagine Comedy Central surrendering its 11:30 audience completely to Stephen and CBS.
People are going to watch Colbert once, find out it sucks and then watch a replacement show on Comedy Central or turn off their tv's.

The Report's been on since 2005. When it ends, we'd have over nine years. We got to see him act as a cheerleader for one president and a critic of another. I'm not going to complain. I also don't fault Colbert for wanting to try something different after a decade.
Yes, who can fault Colbert for wanting to do something much shittier for much more money?

Right. That's why I think Cheating Death would be one of the few to bring along, because it doesn't really revolve around the character.
Would that even be legal?

Also why are we pretending that Colbert's show isn't already a giant fluffjob for people pushing their books/band/movie?
Because that's only about five minutes of the show. And it's rarely actors.

Taibbi's takedowns of Friedman are some of the funniest things.

I think Bill Maher is funny and makes a lot of good points despite disagreeing massively with him on a few issues...But I listen to Real Time in podcast format from HBO's site and I had genuinely forgotten how punchably smug his face was.

I'm not really liking either of the new guys on The Daily Show, but I totally agree that Jessica Jones has become the big new hit on the show. (And she started off a little rough too, as I recall.)

Colbert having a bit of a mancrush on Paul Rudd was quite funny. It's so weird to think back on how much I hated him as The Boring Guy In Friends.
Wait, did Jason Jones divorce Samantha Bee and marry Jessica Williams?

Is it me, or is Jordan Klepper the worst correspondent in Daily Show history?

I really like Klepper.

The worst in recent memory is definitely Josh Gad though.
But he did one of my favorite bits ever :(

It really is. We're so exposed to celebrities now that it doesn't really matter. We see them in candid situations on gossip mags, websites, Twitter and all other social media. I get an ad everywhere I go for the next big blockbuster. Frankly, very few stars have real charisma either. But what can you do? It's relatively stable for the Big 3, but none of these shows will ever have an impact like the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and the field is incredibly diluted on top of that legacy.
And still, British talk shows manage to be funny and interesting.
