3. I too, lost interest, but he and his show always got me interested in what he has to say, just not enough to either

watch or record. I am guessing that I am just turned off by network TV seemingly always in someone's face on what to watch, etc.

Now, I watch YouTube almost 95% of the time, I get to pick what I want to watch when I want to watch it. I have tried getting back into the routine of watching a regularly scheduled tv show but just can't not go back to it again.

There's something to be said about YouTube and watching the TV that you wish to watch.

The Ratings BS that they have annually or so, so what and who cares? Maybe I'm showing off my independence finally and watching 100% of what I want to watch, nonstop.

I will miss Colbert though, I did think that he was one of the better show hosts, and had a verbal wit about him that was unmatched. I imagine that we'll see him again in the future, or at least I hope so, he's too talented to waste such talent and knowledge.
