Unfortunately, as long as they are top-rated in the time slot and on social media (unless you want to count what some say about "Gutfeld!"), Licht isn't going to change anything that's important. Considering that Colbert still has the writers that supported the Rev. Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A. character so well on the "Report," it's amazing that they seem to be going through the motions.
(For the record, they've also started squeezing back the first break ads to do behind-the-scenes shots and lower thirds telling what's coming up and moving up the last local break so that the show's last act is now either the musical guest or the last guest into the goodnights. The plug for tomorrow night's guest goes into the next-to-last break with the band playing the break music, not the theme with canned cheering, and there's no plug now for "Tooning Out the News." And the CBS logo bug is now in the left-hand corner of the screen, but that has to be network-wide.)
