Interesting...a year or so ago he said hecwas on his last deal. Trump getting him pulled from the air really set him off.

Wonder if he doesn’t want to leave his staff and crew out of jobs and maybe work on a successor?

Trump is a gift to comics, anyway.

I am interested in what Colbert does next. Stewart is a sharp example of what not to do. Colbert is 100x smarter and has already entirely reinvented himself once. I'll bet what comes next is even better, and it is not bound by the strictures of The Old Firm.

Look at South Park -- they have been reborn with a spurt of creativity. These people are not machines, they have human motives and weaknesses. They get tired or in a rut. Things happen that shake them up and suddenly the fizz is back. You don't think deep down Colbert is not boiling, and terrified, by 1936? Of course we never actually know the man, only the schtick, but to me he seems like Not On My Watch about a repeat of 1941. And he is bright enough and talented enough and connected enough to make new things happen.

I mean, like, it works when it's a pre-recorded bit like PDD where the whole point is they're awkward and it's just them being them. In a regular normal live sketch, though, I'm just very aware he's one of the PDD guys and as a result he doesn't meld in with the sketch. It also doesn't help he's a foot taller than everyone else and has a very noticeable pointy face. I don't even think he's trying to be weird and out of place in the live sketches, he's trying to be a regular sketch performer, but it just doesn't work.

His bit on Update about the ginger from the beach was poop.

I loved PDND. But outside it he does seem to be flailing.

Colbert will likely do a podcast and go on his buddies shows. He enjoyed doing the podcast during the strike.
