I bet it will actually be sooner. They are giving him a heads up to "get packing". That is probably when his contract ends. They might even buy him out.

Smug little Colbert is the most disgusting of all the late night libs. They are all horrible: Cry Baby, Jonathan Leibowitz, some other rando.

I wouldn't count Bill Maher among that group, although he's no prize.

Stephen Colbert is one sick propagandist.

Interesting. They got Cronkite to leave early so Rather could get a faster start. He was ok until he went up against both Bushes.

Fake but accurate-yeah right.
How about “how would you like it if I brought up the time in Miami when you walked off the set”.

Colbert-next year. Guess it means they got a whole lot of nothing now.

Colbert is a an unfunny shemale, ranked right up there with Samantha Bee and Kathy Griffin.

Jimmy Fallon isn't too bad. From what I've seen. He does not appear to be that political. I'm sure that he is making some Trump jokes but that's only because his audience is Leftist and they're expecting him to talk crap about Trump.

Back in the early 80’s my buddy from down the street would come over and I’d cook cheese dogs in my grandmother’s toaster oven and we would watch Late Night with David Letterman on tv.

Those days are looong over...
