David Letterman is irreplaceable, but someone must step into his shoes in 2015 to take the reigns. In the spirit of CBS’ long-running late night talk show, here’s our own Top Ten list of people who should replace Letterman:
10. Jon Stewart — The host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” has long been considered a favorite to take over Letterman’s gig.
9. Chris Rock — Arguably one of the funniest comedians on the planet, and he’s already hosted his own HBO show in the past.
8. Conan O’Brien — He’s got the chops. He’s got the talent. He needs to get off cable so people can find him again.
7. Larry David — One of the funniest comedy writers of all time. Although he might yank out what little hair he has left the first time a stupid pet trick goes awry.
6. Louis C.K. — Another top comic, with serious talent. And he’s one heck of a talker.
5. Craig Ferguson — As CBS’ longtime late late guy, he’s made no secret that he’s long coveted his boss’ job.
4. Chelsea Handler — She’s funny, smart, acerbic and soon to be unemployed. Handler will be wrapping up her current E! late night talk show, “Chelsea Lately,” at the end of the year.
3. Tina Fey & Amy Pohler — They host the Golden Globes, and they cut their teeth doing late night comedy on “Saturday Night Live,” so the pair would obviously make incredible late night TV hosts, if only CBS could pry them away from NBC. You know, like the network did with Letterman.
2. Jerry Seinfeld — He’s a smooth talker, a funny guy and he knows how to work clean. And Jerry already has a hit talk show on the Web, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.”
And the number one person to replace David Letterman is...
1. Jay Leno — He’s unemployed, and we know he gets ratings.
