Colbert's replacement at Comedy Central will be Daily Show correspondent Larry Wilmore. According to this New York Times piece, here's what we can expect from Larry...
Mr. Wilmore said “The Nightly Show” would regularly feature a panel discussion: a scripted comedy version of what is seen on Sunday-morning talk. He said he would probably start each show with a comedy take on something in the news, delivered in all likelihood from a seat at a desk, the way Mr. Stewart and Mr. Colbert have long opened their shows.
The cast will consist of those who are called players rather than correspondents, but they may do a comedy report as “The Daily Show” does and then be interviewed by Mr. Wilmore before joining the panel. He said unscripted interviews with people connected to the news are also being discussed, though he will not rely on a roster of the usual suspects who turn up on Sunday-morning shows.
It's time to skewer those Sunday morning shows. They really have become almost a parody of themselves. I'm on board to least give this show a chance.
