Comedy Channel’s Stephen Colbert has been chosen to replace David Letterman, when he leaves CBS sometime in 2015.
This is a great selection to replace Letterman, as Colbert is a comedic genius, although he will drop his persona as a conservative Republican, when he takes over the late night show from Letterman.
Predictably, the right wing conservatives and Republicans are condemning the selection of Colbert, as Rush Limbaugh stated that the nation beyond the coastlines, what Limbaugh calls the “heartland”, is being ignored, and that CBS has declared war on this vast part of the nation, and that Colbert is overly “partisan.”
This is such a laughable idea, as what exactly is Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, and all of the rest of the large crowd of right wing talk show hosts on radio and television (Fox News Channel), except totally “partisan”, and also, mostly laughable in their hypocrisy?
Kudos to CBS for defying the right wing, and giving us one of the two most entertaining and creative comedians in cable, with the other being Jon Stewart!
Both know how to “sock it to them” to the right wing, which already has far too much control over media as it is!
Yes Professor. I see good things in the future Stephen Colbert at the helm.
I would have preferred Conan O’Brien as he is my favorite late night host and had already successfully taken over Late night from Letterman when he left NBC. But I also like Colbert, just not as much but def agree he is a good choice.
I also find it funny Limbaugh and others are complaining. I don’t seem to remember them complaining nearly as much or loudly when he was pretending to be conservative which arguably is one big jab at conservatives as opposed to the what? Maybe one or two good jokes in a monologue a week?
