By SARA KARL. New Yorkers' reactions to the news of Stephen Colbert's succession to David Letterman's late-night throne seem to be overwhelmingly positive.. That enthusiasm seems to cross many age groups and demographics, whether they've been Letterman fans or not, like 62-year old businessman Jeff Gilbert, from the Bronx. "I'm thrilled. I watch Letterman here and there, but I'll definitely watch more with Colbert.". Mariana Mingo, 41, added: "I'm excited about it. I LOVE Stephen Colbert, I think he's SO clever.. However, some are not happy about the news, like Carlos Rodriguez, 30, a fresh fish deliveryman from Hell's Kitchen said, "I wouldn't pick him to replace Letterman. I don't like Stephen Colbert's personality. When Letterman talks to you, you feel like he's there, you know, you can feel the vibe, even through the TV. With Colbert, I don't feel that same vibe. I'll definitely watch less now.". The passing of the late-night torches is far less dramatic this go-round than it was 22 years ago when talk-show king Johnny Carson retired. Fewer people watch late-night television these days; millenials barely watch television at all.. "I love Colbert, but at the same time, I don't know anybody that watches late-night comedy, except for my parents," said Nicholas DiSanto of Park Slope.. As for as late night TV getting another white man as host, instead of a woman or a person of color? "It's just par for the course," said Eric Jordan, a 50-year-old writer. Christina Smith, a 31-year-old camera salesperson from Jersey City, summed up TV's glass ceiling with sarcasm. "C'mon, we all know women aren't funny."
