I don't really have a problem with taping Friday's show on Thursday, but
they should be smart enough not put a guest whose appearance is likely to
be out of date on the delayed show. The alternative, a conversation that
avoids those issues, is just as frustrating.

Given both CBS' investment in Colbert and what seem to me to be acceptable
ratings*, I don't think he's in any danger of cancellation. As we've been
discussing, the show doesn't seem to have hit its stride, nor does it seem
to be interested in being as smart as it's capable of being. But that
doesn't look like it's fatal.


* I haven't paid much attention to ratings, so I'll defer to anyone who
has, but I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe that the Late
Show is doing badly enough for its future to be a concern.
