Quick! Stephen Colbert is replacing David Letterman as host of the ‘Late Show’ and no one is following the official Twitter account yet. That’s probably because the first tweet was sent three hours ago (and it does already have 3,317 followers as of the writing of this post – this is no Caitlyn Jenner moment).
