Winning option:Stephen Colbert Stephen Colbert, the comedian and host of Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report,” will succeed David Letterman as host of “Late Show,” CBS’s flagship late-night franchise, when Mr. Letterman retires next year, the network announced Thursday.

Mr. Colbert will sign on for a five-year term as the new “Late Show” host, according to the announcement from Leslie Moonves, the president and chief operating officer of CBS, and Nina Tassler, the chairwoman of CBS’s entertainment division.

CBS moved quickly to name a successor to Mr. Letterman, the late-night TV fixture who has hosted “Late Show” since 1993 and who revealed his plans to retire in a surprise announcement to his audience last week.

Background

Sure, he's irreplaceable. But someone will have to step into the 11:35 p.m. time slot on CBS when David Letterman retires next year after a record 33-year run in late night.

They're big shoes to fill. But some names are already being floated as potential successors. Let's look at some of the next would-be after-hours kings and queens.
