Sephen Colbert set to replace David Letterman on the Late Show

I don't know if you've heard the news, but recently David Letterman announce his planned retirement in 2015. After three decades on the Late Show he feels it is time for him to take a break and enjoy the simple things in life. Now being that the Late Show holds some of the highest ratings then any other late night show we are all wondering who would replace this icon. Well, it turns out that there is talk about Stephen Colbert taking over for David Letterman which doesn't seem like a bad idea. Lately everyone has been getting promoted haven't they? First it was Jimmy Fallon, then Seth Meyers, Now David Letterman. The tides have really changed recently with who will be running these talk shows for the indefinite future. It is said that if Stephen Colbert does in fact take over the Late Show, he will not longer be posing as the political mastermind that he acts as for the Colbert Report. Instead, Stephen will just be his normal self and do what he does best. So far the transition of Seth Meyers taking over Jimmy Fallon's has been going well so hopefully if this switch takes place with the Late Show it will go just as smoothly. Fortunately tonight Seth Meyers i preforming at Ithaca College, so all those who will be seeing him first hand today (including me) can be the judge of his live performance. Hope to see you all there!
