It has been announced that Stephen Colbert will replace David Letterman for Late Night. Colbert currently hosts The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, but will end its run at the end of this year. Colbert will take over Late Show sometime in 2015.
Many celebrities went to Twitter to congratulate Colbert on his new position. Colbert received love from fellow late night hosts including Jimmy Fallon, Craig Ferguson, Arsenio Hall, and Jimmy Kimmel. He also received praise from Bette Midler, Katie Couric, and Josh Groban. Moby even offered his help in whatever department he would need him.
Whith all the chaos going on about the announcement, Colbert decided to play it cool, as if nothing even happened.
Here are the celebrity tweets for April 10.
