The Golden Age of Late Night TV Hosts is Upon us – Colbert Pinned as Favorite to Replace Letterman
With Colbert tagged as the favorite to take over for David Letterman, we are truly entering into a golden age of late night TV. First, Jay Leno gives his chair over to, the always funny, Jimmy Fallon. Next, SNL writer and weekend update host, Seth Meyers, takes Jimmy’s slot, and now? Stephen Colbert is slated as the favorite to the heir of the Letterman thrown. (Not to mention Conan on TBS)
Here’s the deets (details for all you unhip folk): Leterman announced his retirement for next year and Colbert’s contract with comedy central is through the end of 2014. That’s what we call in the biz (business) a BINGO.
Nothings in stone, but I like this hypothetical move. I like it a lot.

This “#CancelColbert” Thing is Going Way to Far
Here his the tweet that everyone is freaking out about:
(Let me start by pointing the person who was the first to reply to it, congratulations @FedMex, you have a pulse and sense of humor) Oh no? Did someone get offended by a Comedy Central tweet. We need to collectively get over it. For everyone trying to get Colbert’s show canceled remember who you are dealing with. It’s like trying to get a child arrested for indecent exposure for pulling his pants off and running around a Walmart. Not gonna happen. That doesn’t mean we should hold him to a lower standard of humanity, but come on people there are COUNTLESS bits in his show that could be offensive for anyone. Don’t watch it! I could go go on a crusade against numerous black comics, but I don’t. You know why? I know its a JOKE and I have better things to do.
Here is another tweet people can get mad at! How dare he photoshop himself on the Lincoln monument!

I love my church because they offer Casual Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays thru Thursdays.

NOT A RELIGIOUS TWEET! Have you lost your mind, Stephen?!
PS- We should all attend Michael Gary Scott’s diversity day.
