Ariel Dumas has been promoted to serve as head writer along with Jay Katsir, while supervising producer Opus Moreschi is also taking on new responsibilities, such as overseeing long lead projects for the show. “I have worked with all three of these incredibly talented people since The Colbert Report," Colbert said in a statement. “I am thrilled that someone as funny and dedicated as Ariel will be my new head writer and that Opus and Jay will continue to be comedic Gibraltars, on which I can lean, and host donors, from whom I can harvest organs.”
