And can a mod please rectify the injustice of no Colbert and Stewart in the poll.

Yep, I agree. A reasonable chunk of Letterman's audience would be older fuddy-duddies who, I reckon, rush to turn to turn off Ferguson before their ears are damaged by his naughtinessLetterman is overrated.
Ferguson is good but he'd have to change his style a fair bit to appeal Letterman's baby boomers. I wouldn't bet on him getting the jerb.
Got a similar vibe when I watched him a few weeks ago. It was like he was just going through the motions.It's funny that this would happen today, I flicked over to Letterman last night after not watching him for a while, and I thought he had the look of a man who didn't want to be there.
Letterman was always number one in my book, but over the past few years Craig Ferguson has been must watch TV from my point of view.
In some ways I don't want him to move because I don't want him to change, but I think that he will get the gig, and he deserves it.
He's said he doesn't want it, basically for that reason. He likes the freedom to do what he wants which he wouldn't get at 11.30Ferguson will have to lift his game in the next 6 months to be anywhere even close to getting the earlier job.
He'd likely have to change his tone from what it's been for the past ~18 months, but he certainly could do well at 11:30. Doing what he wants apparently is phoning it in and getting worse and worse sadly.He's said he doesn't want it, basically for that reason.

Start watching it every day and you'll quickly tire of the antics. It's less improvised than you think; he does the same act every night pretty much. The interviews are obviously still the high point though.I watched it 18 months ago to two years ago, stopped, came back a few months ago. It's definitely a different kind of show now but I don't think it's worse. If anything I think it's better. The I don't give a **** attitude and what not I find hilarious, it can be hit and miss because of how much more improvised it is than any other late night show but when it hits its far better than any of the others.
I think he likes to give the impression he's phoning it in but I dont think he is.
Stephen Colbert replacing Letterman. Awesome.
John Oliver's show on HBO starts this month. Couldn't see him leaving that soon to go back to Comedy Central.Good choice
I wonder if John Oliver might get Stephen Colberts timeslot.He was good filling in for Jon Stewart.
He's hosting the Late Show as "himself" rather than "Stephen Colbert".
True, but he is taking all of his writers with him so it is going to be a very "news" based show.
If he gets too "news-based" the show will die a death
Can't afford to tinker with the formula too much - monologue, 2-3 showbiz guests, music act
