Source: CBSnews youtube/watch?v=H9eYkpgeeI8 David Letterman is retiring sometime in 2015, so the next question is: Who should replace him? CBS wont comment on the longtime hosts possible successor, but social media lit up shortly after Letterman announced the news on Thursday, saying, The man who owns this network, Leslie Moonves, he and I have had a relationship for years and years and years, and we have had this conversation in the past, and we agreed that we would work together on this circumstance and the timing of this circumstance. And I phoned him just before the program, and I said Leslie, its been great, youve been great, and the network has been great, but Im retiring. Theres an entire year to speculate over who will take Lettermans place, but in the mean time, weve come up with a few possibilities. Some signs are pointing to Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert. Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood tweeted: Letterman 2015 Replacement: My sources say Stephen Colbert the only one on the air currently that CBS is considering. Still, could it be Craig Ferguson? Hes already in the CBS family as host of The Late Late Show. Theres also Drew Carey, whos hosted The Price is Right on CBS since 2007. Or maybe Louis C.K.? After all, he did have a multiple-episode arc on his FX series, Louie, all about auditioning to fill Lettermans shoes. Or maybe its time for a woman to grace a major network in the late-night space. Chelsea Handler is expected to leave Chelsea Lately on E! after eight years. Or, if Tina Fey came on board, the one-time SNL star could follow her former cast mate Jimmy Fallons footsteps into the late-night world. Who do you think should replace Letterman?
