Stephen Colbert is moving three blocks east—and light-years from basic cable.
The 49-year-old linchpin of Comedy Central’s long-running series The Colbert Report has been tapped to succeed David Letterman as the host of CBS’ The Late Show. Colbert signed a five-year deal with CBS.
Colbert’s premiere date will be announced after Lettermen works out a timetable for his final broadcast, which should air sometime in late 2015.
Letterman announced his retirement during the taping of his April 3 show.
