I don't know. Is he funny when he's not in character? (www.boston.com)

Responses:

Do they mean in character or out of character? -- nm - mara Apr 5, 07:00 14
- Out of character. What I read yesterday said he'd be himself. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 07:06 13
  - Right, it sounds like the character will die at the end of next year no matter what. - David Apr 5, 07:14 12
    - BUCKWHEAT HAS BEEN SHOT! -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:31
    - The show is still funny but I can see him just wanting to do something else. He's a brilliant man that has so much comedic talent. - Krusty Apr 5, 07:24 10
      - I'd miss his political commentary, but he can always write books. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 07:32 9
        
        Agreed. It'll hurt more when Jon Stewart stops doing TDS. Both shows are well written and performed. - Krusty Apr 5, 07:39 4
        
        At $30 million a year, Stewart isn't going anywhere and even if he does, one of the team will replace him. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:48 3
        
        Would be interesting to see who his band would be. In fact, that may be the most interesting part of whoever takes over. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 08:51 2
        
        I'd watch TDS with Aasif Mandvi. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 08:56 1
        
        The maion problem with JS doing it is too many people would be let down if he was not doing TDS style stuff on CBS. - Spawn Lord Apr 5, 08:57
        
        I would imagine one of CBS' conditions will be that he avoid political commentary in all forms. -- nm - David Apr 5, 07:35 3
        
        well I don't think make that a condition, but I bet they ask on the side that he dials it down a bit -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 09:17
        
        IMO, if they did take him on, such a condition would be like killing the goose that laid the golden egg - con_carne Apr 5, 08:53
        
        Makes sense. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 07:41
It would be a hysterical turn of events after #CancelColbert. -- nm - David Apr 5, 06:58 14
- His show gets canceled after all. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Apr 5, 09:14
- did you read the Salon interview? - Reagen Apr 5, 07:10 12
  - No. Link? -- nm - David Apr 5, 07:14 11
    - here. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 5, 07:18 10
      - That was like a whole lot of verbal diarrhea. -- nm - IrishStephen Apr 5, 09:22
      - she keeps talking around in circles and doesn't sound like she any sort of endgame at all. -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 08:07 2
        
        She is thrilled by the attention. It's classic trolling. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:49 1
        
        oh it is and she is. -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 09:14
      - "It would be reductive to dismiss Park as a troll who baited a show for her own personal profile as an activist" - David Apr 5, 07:26 5
        
        I've never seen "sorry I was distracted by a bird' in an interview before. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 07:37 2
        
        Had to text her friends that Salon was interviewing her. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:07 1
        
        that's an irrelevant point -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 08:31
        
        She's most definitely a troll trying to gain popularity and it's working. - Krusty Apr 5, 07:36 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:06
But Colbert was the reason I stopped watching the Late Show! - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 06:36
