Big Bird Wins 83% of Votes

My poll is over and the results are in. If Stephen Colbert was unable to be the host on The Colbert Report, 83% voted for Big Bird and 16% voted for Mitt Romney to fill in as host.

It seems like common sense that Big Bird would fill in. Just think of Stephen Colbert standing next to Big Bird. They look so much alike in that both are good looking. They both have lots of friends. Many important and influential people make guest appearances on both of their shows.

Stephen is a Conservative. And Big Bird, while not politically active, seems to share some of the same qualities as Stephen. I found this article in Time by James Poniewozik about Big Bird.

Of course, Stephen is very healthy and loves his work, so other than the occasional time off when he does things such as going on boat rides, I don't foresee him missing a show and needing a substitute host. But if that happens, Big Bird would be the obvious choice.
