Derek V

Tonight I watched my last episode of "The Colbert Report" [View all]

As I've stated here previously, I think Stephen's move to CBS is a bad one: for him, for the state of satire in this country and, indeed, for the country itself. I am very serious in saying this.

I won't be watching next week's final four episodes, as it would be too emotionally wrenching for me. Sounds kinda funny coming from an ex-Army guy, doesn't it? But, in my not-so-humble opinion, America is going to suffer a wound one week from tonight.

You've never seen the real Colbert. I would think you'd want to before making up your mind. randome Dec 2014 #13
