...I haven't been real keen on Colbert on the late show yet, but maybe that line marks a turning point. Genius, comedy gold!

I'm thinking the Late Show is gonna be pretty good even though I don't actually watch late night talk shows. Colbert is at least as entertaining out of his Colbert Report character.

Hitchens.

Watch the debate on Catholicism with Hitchens and Fry on one side and a bishop and an idiot politicians on the other. The pro-catholic side are so unbelievably outclassed it's not even a contest.

To everyone else... Gay Byrne deserves a lot of credit.

He was host of the Late Late Show in Ireland for decades and during that time he presided over some incredibly contentious debates on a number of issues in Irish society (contraception, homosexuality, divorce, abortion, child abuse, the north, political corruption, etc.). Looking back it was a slightly bizarre mix of Letterman, Bill Maher and Questions and Answers on the BBC. Despite the fact that Byrne himself would be a reasonably mainstream guy, he IMO hosted the debates fairly (and frankly, considerably better than most modern debate shows).

One of the best stories ever told in a late show. The mutual embarrassment is amazing.

@PlayhousePals, Oh? I did not know that.
@Yogi, You're right. Somehow I was imagining him doing the Late Show just like the Late Late Show, silly me.

Heh.. yeah, the funny part is that I DO still go to concerts in my 30s -- I'm setting the alarm to pick up those Tool tickets the next morning after a late show like in the video -- even though I identify with all the stuff in the vid.

NIN was a great show, I saw them recently as well.

Here's to a great career, Dave. You will be missed!

And I now cast a hard and emphatic vote behind Craig Ferguson to take over Dave's helm at the Late Show! He's the only one who has Dave's kookiness that would fit perfectly in to that slot.

It's on at 11:30pm, on broadcast TV, on one of the major networks. Regulations are pretty vague, but likely would not prohibit 'asshole' at that time of night.

In the case of bleeping things out on the Late Show, it's probably just that it is a hugely popular show, and they want to avoid complaints from people with delicate ears.

It's called "The Late Show", yet they have to bleep out (or blank out in this case) "asshole"? Is it actually on late, or is it on at 6:00 pm or something? Doesn't the US have a watershed period?
