Bill Maher is not convinced that it’s a good move by CBS to replace David Letterman with Stephen Colbert.
“It’s a mystery. I’ve never seen him as himself … I’ve only seen the ‘character.’ So I have no clue … and I don’t think many people do,” he told DuJour magazine, adding he believed Craig Ferguson or Chelsea Handler would have been a better choice.
Maher, who appeared at Up & Down on Monday night to celebrate his cover on Jason Binn’s DuJour, said of his HBO show “Real Time With Bill Maher,” “Every day I get to do this job is a lucky day, and when the time comes that they tap me on the shoulder, I will have no bitterness … I don’t think it can go on forever. They put everybody out to pasture.”
