Certainly not his latest WH Press Correspondents dinner where he absolutely bombed, painfully so.

Out of character, Colbert is average. He's going to get his ass kicked in this time slot....turrible choice by CBS.

No sense in starting a whole new thread since it follows the same topic. Looks like Craig Ferguson is done in December. Maybe he's pissed that CBS went with Colbert instead of him to replace Letterman.

Colbert's bit with the Oreos and Trump was painful to watch...totally unfunny and then a very awkward interview and fake movie bit with Clooney. Weak competition for kümmel and 0 competition for Fallon.

Fallon was beyond gawd-awful when he started. In many respects, still the same awkward interviewer. But I guess some people like his variety bits.

Colbert can do pretty much the same show that was so hilarious, he just has to drop the character part and deliver it straight.
