Can you believe they replaced this guy with fucking James Corden?

Craig Ferguson was one of the best late night show hosts of that era.

Craig is too real for mass appeal.

Still, I heard he might be getting a new show soon. Don't want to get my hopes up, but...

Unfortunately Craig never grew beyond cult status. I think Letterman had a big hand in keeping him on the air, so when Letterman retired, Craig's days on the Late Late Show were numbered when the network no-doubt sought to roll the dice on a fresh face.

As much as I love Ferguson and loathe Corden, it was a good move for the network. Ferguson was hilarious but no one watched his show, meanwhile Corden got into the same spot and came up with segments that went viral and made the network tons of money. Are they as good as Ferguson's comedy? God no, but Corden has been a hell of a lot more profitable.

What made Craig great was that the show was largely off the cuff, especially as the show went on and Josh Robert Thompson (Geoff Peterson) grew into a legit sidekick whom Craig could bounce off of. This paired with instances like the OP gave him a reputation of being far more genuine than most of his late-night contemporaries. This also made Craig the best interviewer around, because he would just shoot the shit with his guests with little to no predetermined plugs / talking points.

It's kind of wild to me that he has only just now entered the podcast game. His off-the-cuff style is what people like about the most popular podcasts, and he's so polished and experienced talking to high profile guests that I have zero doubt that he could put on a great podcast.

He did finally start one this month, but I haven't listened yet. Episodes are pretty short, but the guests so far are Tony Hawk, Gabriel Iglesias, Kathy Lee Gifford and Angela Kinsey.
