I can get behind this
Stephen Colbert is a fine choice by CBS to succeed David Letterman. I cannot imagine a scenario where this show does not become my new late night loyalty. Colbert's ability to sustain his Comedy Central Colbert "character" for so many years is one of the most impressive achievements in comedy. When he started that show, I didn't think he could keep it up.

Admit it. Part of you always thought that maybe you would one day be a guest on the Letterman show. And now...

#CancelColbert apparently worked.
Hahahah. A win for satire.

Quote of the day: David Letterman, telling Playboy in 1984 about the stupid pet tricks performed by his own dogs, "Bob sounds exactly the way I do when he eats potato chips. And if you give Stan the names of three early television comediennes-- Bea Benaderet, Vivian Vance and Lucille Ball-- the one he always chooses as his favorite is Lucille Ball. That comes, of course, not from watching Fifties television but from his association with the word ball with endless hours of fun. Nevertheless, it's a wonderfully stupid pet trick to sit Stan down and say, 'OK, Stan, who do you like best? Did you like Bea Benaderet?' And, of course, there will be no response from Stan. So then you say, 'How about Vivian Vance?' Again, nothing from Stan. 'Stan, one more name: Lucille Ball.' And suddenly he's up, running and jumping and making whelping noises. Now you tell me: If that's not a network-quality stupid pet trick, what is?"
