Getting your player ready...
CBS Thursday that Stephen Colbert, host of “The Colbert Report,” will replace David Letterman when the longtime “Late Show” host retires next year.
Letterman had announced April 3 that he will step down when his contract ends in 2015, and had been rampant as to who might replace him. While Colbert’s name was a popular suggestion, others said CBS should choose a or a minority, as the late-night talk show ranks have long lacked diversity.
In choosing Colbert, CBS gets a political satirist who has found great success on cable TV, but will his success translate to network television?
