My speculation is that Dave leaves at the end of May sweeps after a month of big-name guests, then a summer of Best-of- Dave reruns going back to shows throughout the run, and Colbert starts in the fall. For venue, I thought CBS would go back to a smaller studio to save money, possibly in LA. They want to cut costs on the show and a new host might have trouble filling the Ed every night. But Colbert is probably the only host who can fill the Ed and he's identified enough with NY television that there's no reason to move west. I don't know what will happen at 12:37. Between the LA Times reporting that CBS execs think that Craig is "too eccentric" for 11:35 and Variety reporting that there has been a recent chill in relations between Craig and Worldwide Pants, I'd say he won't continue. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
