I don't think you can really compare the two. Even a really exciting show about interviewing celebrities isn't going to touch the level of satire achieved with the Colbert Report and his character in particular. There are already lots of shows where famous and semi-famous get to pimp their latest movie, but dissecting politics? That was actually useful as well as entertaining.

If it does end up just being "pimp your latest movie and tell a couple of bits pre-planned before you came on", then I'll be as disappointed as you. I think Colbert can do something more unpredictable and unique than that, and I hope that he will.

If he does, is that ultimately as valuable as critiquing politics? Probably not, but it's not nothing, either. And we'll still have the Daily Show and all that for the political criticism.

He might, but I won't hold my breath. For something far beyond the typical talk show, you'll need the cooperation of the guests, most of whom are only there because they have a project and they're contractually obligated to promote it. The interviews on the Colbert Report were decent, but then that was one guest per show. It's unlikely a late night talk show will allow enough time for an in-depth interview, and Colbert will likely not have the freedom to ask the really good questions because his audience will have shifted from a more niche, left-leaning crowd closer to middle of the road Americans.

"If he does, is that ultimately as valuable as critiquing politics? Probably not, but it's not nothing, either."

No, it's not nothing. It's something that's not as good as The Colbert Report, which is what most people are saying.
