Last month, David Letterman announced that his final show will be Wednesday, May 20, which means there will be a three-month gap in between new shows. That would make May through September the last trimester for Colbert’s show-baby, so someone should tell Colbert that this is when the most growth takes place and he should look into some stretchy pants and a serious air conditioner.
