The Late Show started with David Letterman and stupid pet tricks. It ended with Stephen Colbert's dog. Love it or hate it, it's done. I'm left wondering what will become of the Ed Sullivan Theater...

To mark the occasion, I'm taking the Colbert Questionnaire. Care to join me?

  1. What is the best sandwich? On lightly toasted pieces of seeded multigrain bread, lightly seasoned mashed avocado, smoked salmon, a mix of baby arugula & spinach, and sliced homegrown tomato
  2. What is one thing you own that you really should throw out? An old pair of yard gloves with duct tape over the holes in the finger tips
  3. What is the scariest animal? Humans
  4. Apples or oranges? Apples; peanut butter on oranges really doesn't work, does it?
  5. Have you ever asked someone else for their autograph? Yes, I have several LPs with artists' autographs on the covers
  6. What do you think happens when we die? This corporeal life ends
  7. What is your favorite action movie? Big Trouble in Little China

And you’re so satisfied with yourselves for making these posts. Someone in your life, likely a generation or more older told you, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” Look at you, now, meandering the Internet dropping trolls like dogs pooping in neighbors’ yards.

It’s OK if you don’t like Stephen Colbert. It’s OK if you didn’t care for David Letterman or his humor. What would be interesting in this thread is to post your conjecture about the fate of the Ed Sulivan Theater or your answers to the Colbert Questionaire.

Colbert was funnier on the daily show

I never personally thought the guy was funny, and it never really had anything to do with is politics. I seem to remember him having brief moments of funny when he was a "correspondent" on Stewart's show. The Colbert Report was something of a ripoff of Jon Stewart, except he was playing a character instead of himself.

For a time, Colbert was a contributing correspondent on the Daily Show. It’s where he created the personality for The Colbert Report.

Ah. I remember. Then John Oliver left Colbert for HBO?

There was a time when these show could take their digs at politicans and prez's a la carte and be funny. They lost that art form in 2016 when it (trump) started becoming the entire. Now, just watch 15 seconds of one and you've seen them all. It's not that it was trump specifically, it was the odd obsession of each and every show of all of them being about just one person the entire show. But, I don't watch any of them anyway. Carson, Leno and early Letterman I'd watch. The art of late nights died with those 3, with early-mid Letterman being the intent.
