My impression is that Colbert aims (slightly) higher intellectually than his broadcast competitors, which may have sent some of his audience elsewhere for Kardashian jokes. The Late Show also started with a nice spurt of A-list guests. As that settles into more typical bookings, ratings will decline accordingly. I agree that the first minute is a complete waste. Watching live, I'll see who's on Kimmel instead, knowing that I'm not missing anything on CBS. > Where I really disagree is about the opening > montage, which I love, and would be very sad to see them shorten We've now seen it dozens of times, and will get to see it hundreds more. It's become more dead time in the opening few minutes. Tell us who's going to be on the show as Stephen makes his way to the desk, and let's go. I'll add that I like the longer chunks on a single topic that Colbert does at the desk. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
