I started DVRing him after Ferguson quit as our secondary talk show after the Late Show. But now moving into primary slot since Colbert isn’t that great.

My biggest complaint: The idiotic mega-applause and dancing routine at the beginning. Just clap a bit and sit down folks. (Skipping over it with the DVR still takes an unbelievable amount of time.)

All the less content he and his writers have to create every night.
