It looks like Comedy Central has found a successor to Stephen Colbert.

The New York Times reports that Larry Wilmore, billed as "Senior Black Correspondent" on "The Daily Show", will take over for Colbert when "The Colbert Report" host heads to CBS. Colbert will succeed David Letterman as host of "The Late Show". Politico and Mashable also wrote Friday night about the news of Wilmore's upcoming program.

Wilmore's show, which will debut in January following Colbert's departure from Comedy Central in December, will be entitled "The Minority Report". The Times has more:

Prior to his work on "The Daily Show", Wilmore created and wrote for "The Bernie Mac Show". He has also written for "In Living Color", "The PJs", "The Office" and more.
