I don't watch any of them, seems like a revolving thing with this genre..........

Maybe since he got his big pile of cash, it's retirement time.

Apparently he thought he would get Letterman's gig and he is not happy about the outcome.

I'm sure he was disappointed to be passed over. I hope he does well with any new ventures.

I wondered about what would happen to Craig.

After Jimmy Fallon took over from Leno and Seth Meyer is now following him, I wondered if CBS would try to find a younger, different host for after Steven Colbert's new show.

I guess I'm not surprised at this news, but I do like watching Craig once in a while.

Looks like the networks are bringing in younger talent to attract younger audiences.

I like him a lot, but sometimes he's a little hyper for me.
