I'm actually in favor of this. Colbert was wasted on that show, he has so much better work ahead of him.

I wouldn't say he's wasted, but I do agree he has better work ahead of him.

You can look at Jon Oliver who carved out a pretty solid gig for himself. He got lucky that Stewart needed a little time to explore and he got to jump in as guest host. Next thing you know he's scoring yearly Emmy wins.

I don't know what Colbert might get up to next, but do agree it'll be worth watching.
