I'm going to miss Colbert when he's gone

I know he's going to CBS, but it's not the same. The concise format, point of view, and raw talent of Colbert cannot be replaced.

and if he isn't the same, they will be as displaced as when watching Olbermann do sports, compared to what he was.

i think he will surprise people and be good.

the problem i see is that even if he is really good he could do bad in ratings.

Jay Leno was the one who did really well in ratings and i thought he was the worst of the night time shows
