Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert has made a not-so-comical transition to late night television.

The “Colbert Report” was one of the funniest and most informative shows on television over the last 10 years. Former host Stephen Colbert recently left the network after a wildly successful run to host “The Late Show” on CBS.

I was skeptical about Colbert’s ability to make the transition from “The Report” to network television because late night variety shows aren’t in style anymore; former host David Letterman’s average viewer was 60 years old, while Colbert’s was 42, one of the lowest for any talk show, according to HollywoodReporter.com.

After two weeks of programming, it’s obvious Colbert is still unsure of how exactly he wants to appeal to his new audience. He hosted his Comedy Central show in character, interviewing politicians, authors, celebrities and more as a mock conservative newsroom host.

He isn’t that character on his new show, and it’s a big difference. Watching Colbert stand in front of a crowd and attempt to tell jokes during his opening monologue has been a tad bit awkward because he looks nervous and out of place; however, that might not be all his fault, as the show’s writing has been less than stellar.

“The Late Show” shows more promise when Colbert is at his desk interviewing the likes of Elon Musk, Amy Schumer and Presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Bernie Sanders. Viewers can expect to see more in-depth interviews in the future, including one with Donald Trump on Tuesday.

Colbert needs to be more unique and creative with this program for it to be a success. He needs to stop trying to be the next Letterman and focus on bringing the type of humor from his old show to CBS and being the Colbert we’ve all grown to love.

Hopefully it doesn’t take too long for him to find his identity and learn how to relate to a new audience. “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert has potential, but it might be a good idea to change the format of the show.
