Non-spoiler: It's funny & can be pithy. Yes, "#comedy is good", although it will not be the same, of course, w/o the #Colbert edge.

@drmike Ewww. If the best descriptor for the new host is "billionaire," I'm definitely out.

I totally get that ... terrible way to lead.
I must confess, I've accidentally seen the show (comes on immediately after) and been impressed by the cleverness & insightfulness, mixed with humor. I had no idea this was so long-time a show or that there was a billionaire involved.

It does seem ironic (?) that #CBS - who pushed out #Colbert - would be 'replacing him with a billionaire'. But (a) as a researcher into headlines, it's 'biased'
(b) the show is NOT pro- #TrumpVirus
