#CancelColbert

Well, at least he’s leaving Comedy Central, where he’ll be competing with the iconic show recently and successfully taken over by a graduate of America’s finest institution of higher education.

I have somewhat mixed but ultimately positive feelings about this. The “Stephen Colbert” character on the Colbert Report is a work of comic genius, but diminishing returns will eventually set in, and Colbert has a much broader set of comedic chops. I see no reason why he won’t do very well taking over for Letterman.
