Turns out you are in a similar state of mind late at night as you are in the first cup of coffee morning. The humor works just as well... I do wonder if this is the general decline of the big networks more than just late night comedy. I only watch "network" when watching pirate streams of sports these days as I ditched cable long ago. I couldn't tell you what the new sitcoms or dramas are, though I could with Netflix. I hear Colbert, being a serious <i>Lord of the Rings</i> nerd, is working with Jackson and writing the script for new <i>Lord of the Rings</i> movie. That could be interesting if they don't string it out to 3 movies like they did with the Hobbit...
