In Stephen Colbert's final interview before taking over the Late Show on Tuesday, the new host talked to CBS Sunday Morning about dropping his Colbert Report persona. One of the questions facing Colbert is whether viewers will be able to separate the comedian from the faux-Conservative character he portrayed for a decade on Comedy Central. Colbert told CBS Sunday Morning's Mo Rocca "I mean, it's understandable -- I worked really hard to be that other guy for ten years." But, he added, he's not just a pundit ? he's a comedian. Colbert's first Late Show will premiere September 8th, with guests George Clooney and Jeb Bush.
