Members Soapsuds Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 Big numbers for his last show and who will replace them is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted April 4, 2014 Author Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 It really is driving how how the years go by. He is the last connection to Johnny, and it is looking like the entire roster of TV hosts now never even appeared on the Tonight Show with JC.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 Very sad. I like Letterman. But, I'm ready for them to give it to this bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 Even though I am not a fan of Letterman's, I am a bit sad because his retirement signifies the end of an era (as Qfan stated earlier). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 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.

Members Khan Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 I would not be a bit surprised to see CBS put out feelers for Jon Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think he might be too combative and harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 Okay, then, how about Stephen Colbert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 IMO. Ferguson should get it. It's only rightful that they don't screw him out of moving up. Stephen Colbert would be a good replacement at the Late Late Show if that happened. Or Jon Stewart. Since the first Daily Show host went on to host the LLS.

Members DRW50 Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 I could see that, although this whole racism controversy might make that less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 What racism controversy? One lunatic the Internet's laughing at? No one took that seriously and it's already blown over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 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.

Members DRW50 Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 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).

Members Khan Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
