I sort of agree.
The old "Late Night With David Letterman" on NBC was bad ass for instance. He was so acerbic and pissed off so many celebrities on that show. It was really, really good.
But once he moved to 11:30 on CBS...he had to tone it waaaaayyyyy down. And all that craziness that made his show so good was pretty much neutered.
He's still good. But since Letterman moved to 11:30 we got "Dave-light".
I think the same thing will happen with Colbert. Since he won't be playing the character, we already know he won't be as outrageous anymore.
Heck, I'm not sure what he will be.
Maybe he'll surprise us?
