Will COLBERT kill off "Col-BEARRR" (a scenario)? Will he do the talk show with a "T"?!

How will he go out this week? What about an O'LOOFAH impersonator charging in, wildeyed, yelling "Do it LIVE!1 Do it LIVE!1" and killing him off, then O'LOOFAH being tackled and dragged off leaving the busted up desk and a long black screen.

As for the "T" - while it was(?)/is his IRL, it sounds really JARRING now.

Colbert really was pronounced Col-BEAR.

The 40s movie star Claudine Colbert pronounced it like that, anyway.

[font size=5]We bid a fond farewell to 'The Colbert Report' as Stephen Colbert makes his way to 'Late Show'[/font]


.... Through it all, the star of “The Colbert Report” infuriatingly refused to pronounce the last letter of his show’s name.

“It’s French, bitch,” Colbert explained on an early promotion for “The Colbert Report.” ....

But there is one huge problem — one worthy of a wag of the finger: The Colbert who steps into Letterman’s clown shoes in 2015 will not be the same man who signs off Comedy Central this month.

Sure he’ll have the same name, but will no longer do conservative politics and might even morph himself into an entirely different Stephen Colbert.

Perhaps he’ll even bring back [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]the hard “t”[/FONT] at the end of his name — which he [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]used before college[/FONT]. Nobody but Colbert knows who this Colbert is — but there are hints that this new Colbert won’t be the man who taunts liberal guests by opening the questioning with the simple, “George W. Bush — great President or the greatest President?”
