It does not really matter which teams that will play in the 50th edition of the Super Bowl in American football on the American commercial broadcast television and radio network CBS on February 7, since the American comedian, writer, producer and television host - Stephen Colbert has already emerged a clear winner. The television broadcasting company announced on Wednesday, that a live episode of the American talk show - "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will follow the biggest event on television.
It's a planned series of move on the part of CBS Corp. Chairman, CEO and President Leslie Moonves, to improve the network's replacement for the television and radio host David Letterman - who has fallen behind NBC's long-running late-night talk show - "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."
The annual championship game of the National Football League - Super Bowl, is most likely being watched by more than 100 million people, and it is the most-watched TV event of the year. That gives Stephen Colbert's show an immediately big potential audience that may or may not have witnessed Stephen Colbert in his relatively new character as a late-night host.
The Super Bowl will come at the six-month mark for the Stephen Colbert's new version of "The Late Show," and the show will be given such a high-profile slot - and it is a good way to reintroduce Stephen Colbert to the American public with all the sharp twist worked out in the format of Colbert's recently developed show.
However, some formed a theory that the post-Super Bowl slot would be granted to the freshman comic-book series "Supergirl," but it has been said that the brass got a feeling of intense longing to throw more support behind "The Late Show."
And it does make sense to some critics, as "Supergirl" is owned by the television production arm of Warner Bros. Entertainment - Warner Bros. TV and only licensed by CBS, while the Stephen Colbert's version of the "Late Show" is owned by CBS, which therefore has a vested interest in building that franchise.
