With all the (understandable) attention Fallon got for his drinking when he
nearly lost a digit, I've often wondered how Colbert seems to get a pass for
the on-camera drinking (which goes beyond whatever liquor he keeps in a cabinet
near the desk). Maybe Fallon should have drank more stuff
I disagree with KO. I have always seen Colbert as the most liberal person
regularly on mainstream entertainment TV (far more liberal than, say, Jon
Stewart). He was liberal way before Trump was a thing.
But he is liberal is a particular way - liberal Catholic. A lot of secular
folks on the Left
Given that Colbert thinks the world of Licht, who seems to be living down
to everything KO describes him as being, I'm going with Olbermann on this
one.
That Colbert does not like TFG is obvious, but most of his other politics
seem to be pretty moderate. Of course, it could just be the alcohol

Anderson Cooper is already in that spot and he could handle the comedy/news
show while not being out of place if breaking news happens during his show.
Agree about BriWi.
Jonathan Lemire, who hosts Way Too Early on MSNBC, was entertaining the
other night on Seth Meyers. I've never seen his show, but he's an actual
reporter who might work well. Although leaving the relative stability of
MSNBC for CNN sounds like buying a lottery ticket to
Which is my cue to post what I have been screaming into the void since I
read about this story on Puck News: BRIAN WILLIAMS
Dude is a serious news guy, but has been half a late night humorist for 20
years. He could do a light hearted riff on regular current events, interact
with guests, and picot
Although I will not call Licht a "paste-eater" like he does, I would tend
to agree with Keith Olbermann that the problem with a comedian fronting CNN
in prime time is this: What do they do when news breaks and jokes are
inappropriate? Stewart and Maher have never been tested with having to
Guess straight news ain't workin' out that well for Licht...
