That could be good or bad. I wonder how he will drop the persona or try and keep/adapt it.

Was hoping for Conan but I knew that was a million to one shot.

Good for him but bad for my hour long nightly TV entertainment

Hmm, Colbert Report seemed like the perfect format for him. I can't imagine he'll remain in character, but maybe that's why he's moving, it must be exhausting to keep that up all the time.

Yeah, I'm also very interested to see what Colbert will do with his persona.

Awwww.... Sucks only because he'll probably leave his character at Comedy.

 

[PricklyPete]

Great for him...but I will truly miss The Colbert Report.

I felt a great disturbance in the Patriarchal hetero-normative power structures , as if millions of feminists suddenly cried out in terror, and then suddenly ran of to Tumblr. I trust something awesome has happened.

I don't find Colbert's report that funny. He was wicked funny as a correspondent on the Daily Show. Him and Steve Carrell were brilliant.

Gotta admire the stamina of the Colbert Report. He pretty much does the entire show and doesn't rely on other people like Stewart does.
