This is the part that's hard to process. While I appreciated what Carson or
Cronkhite meant to the culture at large, I didn't have the same sort of
relationship with them that I do with Dave. For the last few weeks, it's
felt a little strange turning the TV off at 12:40; it's going to feel
stranger not having anything I need to watch at 11:35. Even if Colbert is
as good as we hope he'll be, I can't imagine making the same commitment to
his show that I've had to Letterman.

Thanks, Dave.
