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.

Exactly.   I mean why would late night want to hear Robert talk about Sprint LTE all the time :P

      Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.
