    Stephen Colbert to replace David Letterman on "Late Show"

    Stephen Colbert to replace David Letterman on "Late Show"

    CBS didn't waste too much time finding a new host for the "Late Show." Exactly a week after David Letterman announced his plans to retire, his successor has been named.

    Stephen Colbert, the host, writer and executive producer of "The Colbert Report," will replace Letterman in 2015.

    "Stephen Colbert is one of the most inventive and respected forces on television," CBS Chairman and CEO Les Moonves said in a statement Thursday. "David Letterman's legacy and accomplishments are an incredible source of pride for all of us here, and today's announcement speaks to our commitment of upholding what he established for CBS in late night."

    The 49-year-old Colbert, who signed a five-year deal, said in a statement: "Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead. I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth."

    Colbert's premiere date will be revealed after Letterman figures out a timetable for his final episodes. According to CBS, "Late Show" creative elements, as well as the producers and the location for the Colbert-hosted "Late Show" will be announced at a later date.

    Louis C.K. wuz robbed!

    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

    Should pick up Letterman's conservative-bashing without missing a beat.

    I don't know this Colbert fellow. Only know the network shows. Craig Ferguson is hands down the best, in my opinion. The guy can improvise like none of the other hosts. He adapts himself to each guest. Only has a shell of a script. Too bad he's leaving.

    Starting at 3:45 when Colbert roasts Bo Dietl is gets hilarious.
