Stephen Colbert is the rumored top pick to replace David Letterman as host of Late Show on CBS. Letterman announced he plans to retire in the next year or so.

Colbert 'first engaged with network executives' while Letterman was still thinking about the best time to retire, Mashable reports.

Sources tell the website that CBS has spoken to other candidates - including Colbert's Comedy Central colleague Jon Stewart - but that Colbert is the 'front-and-center' pick for the job. They also say Colbert has not yet had any formal contract discussions nor is there an agreement in place.

Well who would have EVER believed that they would replace a liberal with a liberal? Astounding.

I wouldn’t touch that with your ten foot pole! What about Laz?

Let’s petition for Rush Limbaugh to get the job, just to upset the left!

Wish Leno would replace him. I miss him.

Limbaugh!
Heads would explode!
JOY!
We all know he would never do it.
He should just claim it though, just to jack around the left.
Fact is, Rush could start his own network but he is about Rush, and frankly
he would not want to work that hard. (why should he)

What about Jerry Seinfeld? I think he draws comedy out of people and he is not politically correct. Does CBS know there is a market for that?
People of all types are sick of PC crap.

I had never seen Chelsea Handler's tv show, but I kept seeing her mentioned here and there. So one day while browsing through Barnes & Noble, I saw her book and picked it up. I skimmed the first chapter. Here is a rundown of her entire schtick: 1) her vagina; 2) her periods; 3) what is was like discovering her vagina at a slumber party at a way-too-early age; 4) her vagina.

That about covers it.

Sounds like a great replacement for Letterman. One vagina for another.

Sorry, but I found Carson completely unfunny. His Tonight show flopped on British TV in the 80s.

Dang! I always wished I could find a girl with large, smooth biceps...

I know that there is a phrase that describes that condition perfectly. Alas, my Alzheimer’s is kicking up and I can’t seem to remember what it is.

He will flop and Craig ferguson will take over long term.
