David Letterman has announced that he will retire in 2015. Though these are big shoes for CBS to fill, here are a few personalities that may work.

The onetime “Saturday Night Live” writer has his own successful late-night talk show on TBS. He is known for his quirky, sometimes-physical comedy and observational humor.
