That's interesting. Colbert will have to tone it down for that network I would think.

I don't know about that. I think cbs wants in on a younger demographic. tv has changed a lot. Letterman demo was more in the 50+

He will be fine. On his current show he is playing a character 100% of the time. Who he is on late night will bear little resemblance to who he is on his current show.

Letterman demo was more in the 50+ I know TV has changed a lot but Colbert gets away with a lot of stuff on Comedy Central. People watching regular networks seems like they can get butthurt more easily. Probably won't be making his Ching Chong jokes anymore!

Are the masses not smart enough to understand satire? Am I asking idiotic questions?

Ive seen his stand up and him appear as himself.on other shows. Its nothing like the colbert report.

I would be very surprised if the character was not apart of the new show in some way.

Being butthurt by that bit was like a twitter-fueled Rorschach test. Anyone who was butthurt is a goddamn fucking asshole, either too slavishly stupid or too ideologically overworked to appreciate brilliant satire.

I get that he's in character for the Colbert report...I'm just saying that he won't be able to do the same type of stuff even as a different character (himself or other) because some people are overly sensitive and you'll have all that righteous indignation about bullshit. "We going to pull our ads for Depends if you don't take back the jokes about old people shitting their pants" kind of bullshit. Kind of like going from the wasteland to HN. I will really miss his show. I'm sure they will give it to Jon Oliver.

I love Letterman. Always have. Watched him loyally for years when I had the type of aimless juvenile life where I could stay up late every night. But then I grew up and got srs about teh career and stacking paper. You should consider trying that one of these years, scotthurr. Tick tock, son. As was stated above, brok dik. I dont watch them at night. I watch when I get home from work to wind down. You cant do that watching a hok game.
