The idle speculation will shift to the timetable: when Dave leaves, when
Colbert starts, the venue, and the late slot.

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.
