This is a huge deal for Stephen Colbert. Normally the networks show a new primetime show that they are trying to hype, but this year that post Super Bowl slot goes to Colbert.
I'll have to check it out after the big Bears Super Bowl victory. (Rimshot)
I've been watching Colbert semi-regularly lately and he's finding his groove. The band is great, his second segment (at the desk) is always top notch, and he's probably the best interviewer on Late Night. The monologue is still pretty weak, but let's not forget that Letterman never did a good monologue in 30 years of Late Night.
