The Colbert Rapport

The New York Times asks if the late-night hosts can do improv, which they may need when they come back sans writers next week. I'm thinking that this is where Stephen Colbert will start to get ahead in the race, as he's got that Second City background, both as an actor (where most of the other guys are comedians) and as an improviser. Plus, he's playing a character in the first place. It's not like I wouldn't be watching anyway, but he's definitely the one to watch until this damn writers strike ends.
