It'll be interesting to see him in his new role. Seth Myers, speaking about his promotion to the Late, Late Show, said that, on SNL, he wasn't really interviewing people, he was just a comic actor, playing an interviewer, interviewing guests, and following a script. So far, he's done very well, but they've kept him on a very short leash. OTOH, they've allowed Fallon free rein for all his whacky games, etc. I'll be very interested to see how SC does in Letterman's slot. Letterman may be a curmudgeon, but he's hard to beat as an interviewer, skilled in bringing out the best of what the audience wants to hear from his guests. Can Colbert match him? We'll see...
