David Letterman

As Stephen Colbert continues to prepare to take over David Letterman's spot on The Late Show, he's doing more than celebrating marriage equality and appearing on Michigan's public access.

He's bringing his face to his new Manhattan digs and trying to help the neighbors at the same time.

You'll recall the famous marquee that welcomed visitors to the Ed Sullivan Theater and Letterman's former late night homestay.



Well as they renovate the space for Colbert's September premiere, a new sign appeared July 6.

Behold, Stephen Colbert's new awning.

Tina Fey often mentinoed Spanx on 30 Rock and I guess she thought it was time we saw them in action. She left both Dave Lettermen and us with a bang and a new hashtag.

Obama simply won't stop talking about Domino's.

What are they feeding him at the White House.

In what is possibly symptomatic of a mid-life crisis, longtime badass Bruce Willis wore a rug to the Late Show with David Letterman April 22.

He said it was to recapture his first appearance on the show by wearing the same clothes and sporting hair where there currently is no hair.

But, he also said that he recently went through a momentous birthday. Last month, Willis turned 60. That might have contributed to the throwback Thursday that he attempted.

Or maybe his daughter is just way too embarrasing on Dancing with the Stars for him.

Joan Rivers recently walked out on a CNN interview and David Letterman walks out on her.

CBS has made a five-year deal with Colbert, which was announced Thursday by CBS Corp. Letterman announced his pending 2015 retirement on April 3.

"Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career," Colbert said. "I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead. I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth."

Comedy Central released this statement: "Comedy Central is proud that the incredibly talented Stephen Colbert has been part of our family for nearly two decades. We look forward to the next eight months of the ground-breaking Colbert Report and wish Stephen the very best."

David Letterman has Martha Stewart on to sample her fancy-schmancy deviled eggs and beet lemonade, but Dave's not interested civility. He goes straight to the yoke filling and then knocks back a few pulls on a fifth of vodka. No big deal...

David Letterman just announced that he's retiring from the CBS late night competition, Late Show, in 2015. Who should replace him?
