I think we've seen enough Colbert episodes to conclude that he just doesn't produce enough material for a 5 show a week cycle. He strains his caricature of right-wing pundits at times and interrupts his guests far too often for rapidly diminishing comedic returns. It's no longer witty, if it ever was, and all he has to hold his audience's attention is the massive ego of the character he plays. You can only ride the charisma train for so long though, I predict a shitcanning at some point if he doesn't shape up.
Him shaping up is not the problem. The theme of the show is very topical and is aging very quickly. I was just watching it tonight and it felt like I was watching a rerun from the 80's. Everything from the eagle to the American flag to the O'Reilly attitude felt stale. There wasn't much I was laughing at.
Colbert is a great comedian so I hope he exits gracefully before it becomes painfully obvious that it's time to move on.

I love his schtick....but I don't watch the show...just clips I find on da web....so I guess for me the show is perfect.
But hey....the election is over, alot of people now see the Republicans for what they are and have turned a blind ear to their message...which is exactly what Colbert was bashing. If you ask me, his job is done...and he's done more for America in the last year than most politicians in their careers. I think he opened a few eyes....not alot....but enough to be talked about around the globe for a while and perhaps turn a few undecideds AGAINST the Right. But that's just speculation.
Besides...we all know as soon as O'Reilly and Hannity retire he'll have no more material to "get inspiration" from.
