yay!
Will Colbert remain in his Comedy Central character? Apparently not. CBS said "specific creative elements" would be determined and announced at a later date.
Let's be real: Colbert has energy and talent to spare.
Wouldn't count him out on making the transition with a splash.
love this news, I figured he couldn't carry on with that character forever.
But is he not too left wing for this gig? That was my first thought. Will he be willing to go more "center" with his comedy?
"CBS has just declared war on the heartland of America," Limbaugh sputtered on his show. "No longer is comedy going to be a covert assault on traditional American values, conservatism. Now it's just wide out in the open. What this hire means is a redefinition of what is funny, and a redefinition of what is comedy. They're blowing up the 11:30 format... they hired a partisan, so-called comedian, to run a comedy show."
as much of a blowhard as Limbaugh is with this statement, his sentiment is probably correct here. Everything we've seen of Colbert so far has been pretty scathing and ruthless towards non-liberals.

So Rush is right to feel victimized - but it's for entirely the RIGHT reasons. Shaming like Colbert does is what we need to show these guys for who they really are.
