Who's your pick to replace Letterman?

I would love Colbert or Stewart... but another part of me realizes if they got it their witty political comedy would go away/to waste (for the most part)...

According to Mashable Colbert is at the top of CBS' wish list and he's interested http://mashable.com/2014/04/04/stephen-colbert-replace-david-letterman-late-night/ His Comedy Central contract expires at the end of this year so the timing works out for him. With Tonight Show in New York now, I would think CBS would want to move the show to L.A. post-Letterman, but with Colbert it would likely stay in NY.

 

Personally, I think Joel McHale would be good doing a show like that.

I would kinda prefer to see Conan switch over.  For one, adding yet another face to the crowd at this point just seems silly to me, and for another, it would in many ways make Conan a true spiritual successor to Dave, in that NBC pretty much gave both of them the finger, and it would make it such that they both gave NBC the finger right back through the same major network.

The choice is obvious.  Butt-head.  He nails it.

Me.

AJ!!!!!

 

I am flattered by the inclusion, but I am more of a behind the scenes, head writer type -- much like I am here at S4GRU.  I liken myself to Jim Downey, the highly intellectual, Ivy League educated, longtime head writer for Saturday Night Live.  He only rarely stepped in front of the camera.

 

 

However, if Robert gets the Letterman job -- as he appears to be stumping for -- I am pretty sure I know whom he will hire as head writer after all this time at S4GRU.  Yeah, it will be Jim Downey.

 

:P

You either will be head writer, or at least a frequent guest.  Perhaps a guest host?  :fingers:

He could easily serve a role much like Josh Elliot on GMA prior to his NBC defection, with his Youtube 'Play of the Day'.

Well that interview was a waste of my time. But the trip to NYC was nice.

    • Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!
    • That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.
    • 417.55 MB September security update just downloaded here for S24+ unlocked   Edit:  after Sept security update install, checked and found a 13MB GP System update as well.  Still showing August 1st there however.

    • Still nothing for my AT&T and Visible phones.
