So I read some surprising news. In fact I didn’t believe it at first! I even had to look at my calendar and remind myself that it wasn’t April Fools Day. David Letterman is retiring after his long run, and has selected Stephen Colbert to be his replacement. I saw it on one blog and thought it was some kind of prank until I saw it in my many RSS feeds and began following links to official sources. Then when I walked out into the living room I saw it on the news. This is an actual thing.

I have to say I have mixed feelings about it. Granted it’ll be a good move for him no matter which way you look at it, and he is hilarious. Still, I’ll miss the character that he plays. He was a great inspiration even while growing up. He taught me the value of keeping a straight face while saying and doing the most profound things. Which you would know if I had one. 😛
I do look forward to seeing how this turns out. If anyone is insanely unpredictable it’s him.
