Sharpie66 December 31, 2014 Share December 31, 2014 Stephen "hosted" (well, appeared for a few minutes at the beginning) the Kennedy Center Honors. One of the honorees was Tom Hanks, whose bio video was introduced and narrated by David Letterman. When David came out and just started to speak, you heard this great roar of laughter from the audience when Stephen came out and stood next to him on stage. David paused, looked over at Stephen, and just said, "Not yet!" and Stephen ducked out. Very funny, and well staged! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19570-late-show-in-the-media/#findComment-687580

I like to think Stephen's mention of "The Late Show With: Starring Stephen Colbert" was a dig at Jimmy Fallon, but that might just be 'cause I can't stand Fallon.

Interesting. I've been following Bill Carter, the Late Shift author, in interviews and on Twitter for a while now. And long before Letterman retired, he hinted that The Late Show was Colbert's to lose (he usually said it was opinion that Colbert was the best choice, but I think he talked to Les.) Anyways, Colbert set up his contracts to expire when Dave's expired. Yeah, he would've walked away, but I think he was pretty confident he would get the job.

That was some serious FU, and much harder hitting than the "I'm an idiot" stuff his "Stephen character" used to dish out. I have been having very low expectations for The Late Show, and dreading seeing the cutting commentary abandoned for more Doritos and beer product placement, inane musical guests, and cute little skits about xmas or whatever toothless shite CBS would approve. But I will give it a shot, and it's this kind of don't F with me reaction gives me hope that it wont' be a total waste of time. NBC has a cheerleader in Fallon, ABC has a cynical dude in Kimmel.
