Stephen Colbert’s Next Moves, Late-Night Uncertainty, and Fringe/Festival Highlights

With CBS airing Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen at 11:35, he shares Colbert’s comments about Allen and notes Colbert’s next gig writing a Lord of the Rings-universe film with Philippa Boyens; Colbert’s Ben & Jerry’s Americone Dream packaging is also being updated. USA Today discusses possible late-night replacements (including podcast-style shows) and quotes David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel on late night’s future. He plugs HBO’s Josh Johnson: Symphony, spotlights Atsuko Okatsuka’s HomeState “Atsuko Bowl” charity tie-in, does a “Comedy Stock Market” (buy Weird Al and Henry Yen; sell Colbert), and runs festival items on Eloise Efthos, Suzy Cato, Steven K. Amos, and Amanda Knox’s Edinburgh Fringe show Cartwheel.
