Since his time on the Daily Show as a correspondent for the satirical news program, Stephen Colbert has presented a chameleon to TV land.
And the pundit he carried into his own show, The Colbert Report, was his greatest caricature.
Which is why the buzz surrounding his tenure hosting The Late Show on CBS has boiled to the brim ahead of his premiere.
Viewers, fans, TV critics; no one seems to know who we'll see and what we'll get out of Colbert has he carries the torch for the retired David Letterman.
During the CBS summer press tour, even Colbert remarked that the show will be an act of discovery from himself as well.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert debuts Tuesday night on CBS.
