  Let's hope they don't pick Horatio Sans to be his sidekick.  They'd spend the entire hour laughing at nothing.

  Cmon, you guys are too hard on him. He doesn't have to be hilarious, just do decent intro and then ask interesting questions. He's cute at least, unlike most late night hosts... maybe they're trying to get more girls to watch.
