    Default David Letterman retiring

    David Letterman is retiring next year, he announced it at today's show taping. The end of an era in late night TV.
    Makes me feel old.

    Personally I don't care much for David Letterman. He's funny and all but to me some of his stuff is rude. He has a ranch near where I live and the close neighbors don't have a lot of nice stuff to say about him.

    Did you guys hear that Stephen Colbert will be replacing him? He's funny, but I wonder what he'll be like out of "character."

    I kind of like the choice of Stephen Colbert as a replacement! Not what I think most people would expect, but definitely he brings the dry, smart-ass comedy similar to Dave's. I imagine and this is only my opinion, that Stephen will probably stay in 'character' in some form or another. I think he's sharp and I like his brand of humor.

    He has said he won't be doing the show in character. A year or two ago Colbert did an hour- long interview with Oprah on her network. I imagine it can be found online somewhere. He was quite charming and seems very grounded. As a fan who has been watching Letterman pretty much her entire adult life I can't imagine a better person to take over the show.

    Stephen will be a guest on Dave's show tomorrow night (4/22).

    It will be great to see him out of character then! I agree with you. He was a perfect choice.
