It will be interesting to see how Colbert structures his new show. Will he still play the sort of character he plays on the Colbert Report or will he be more like his normal self? I suspect it will be somewhere in between. He will have to tone down the political aspects of his satire, but he will still use a bombastic personality style as a source of humor. If anyone can pull it off though, it's Stephen Colbert. When I first heard about the Colbert Report I thought "Oh that will be a fun little experiment after The Daily Show, but it will get tiresome after a few months". But he has managed to keep an audience for years. He's very smart and seems to nail the right tone in every circumstance. Listen to his talk at the recent RSA conference as an example. His jokes have some bite to them but he manages to find a good balance between being not being too mean and not being too conciliatory.
