It does feel like the end of an era.

I'm not sure who could replace him. I wasn't a big fan but he had a distinctive style and personality.

I don't think Craig Ferguson will get it (although I think he'd be decent), so I'm not sure who they will pick.

I don't think Craig Ferguson will get it or wants it. A few years back I remember him saying he didn't want the job and liked the later time slot cause it's less restrictive.

A while ago rumors were than CBS wanted Jon Stewart, don't know if that's still true.

CBS did right by David Letterman. Unlike NBC which pushed Jay Leno out (twice) before he was ready, CBS let Dave stay until he was ready to retire. This transition should be far smoother than the Tonight Show one.

Didn't it end up getting one of their main Twitter accounts deleted?

I can see it getting some notice, although most likely they'd go for someone else for other reasons (Colbert's so politicized now and likely well established at CC).

I'm with Craig Ferguson. The later the hour, it seems, the more free-wheeling and unpredictable the show.

Who was that British dude who filled in for Jon Stewart on TDS while Stewart off directing his movie? Would he be a good fit for "The Late Show"?

I just hope they don't go with someone like Will Ferrell. For some reason, his name crosses my mind, and it scares me.

    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
