You knew this other shoe would drop once Colbert bolted to CBS.

So who does CC get for 11 PM? Chelsea Handler?

Maybe Russell Brand..

Announced around the same time that Brian Williams was suspended. Maybe they'll switch gigs.

Bite your tongue. Brand is smart and of the right political persuasion, but a little over the top for the role, in my opinion. I will miss Stewart, but not as much as Colbert, who's character was pure genius. I'm going to check out the real Stephen Colbert (hard "T" I'm guessing), on CBS, but it just won't be the same.

If I were Comedy Central, I would try to get John Oliver back. He's doing basically the same thing over at HBO, but it's only once a week.
