Stephen, after ending his show on comedy central, made a very strong opening on the Late Show. Although the first day wasn't perfect (even near-perfect beings like Colbert, can't be perfect), he has slowly started to get a good routine going on the following episodes. Although it might take time for him to completely get used to his new "genuine" character, Colbert has come out strong. He is moving with him my entire generation and with him we carry a similar vision; this is, by far, the greatest reason Colbert will work hard to make this show just as successful as his "Colbert Report." It is no small feat that Colbert has followed the footsteps of Stewart and carried with him the torch of my generation. We sometimes feel lost and unheard, but through Colbert (and Stewart) we felt a strong voice; both of them have made some very meaningful things happen and now Colbert is carrying on this legacy. I, like many in my age group, have never been interested in talk- shows, so Colbert is bringing with him a brand new set of audience. He might just as well be the person needed to bring back decent television and save us from the superficial, materialistic stuff that's on most TV today.
