broadcastfan9751 136 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It has been rumored, but it is now official. Craig Ferguson will not be renewing his contract to host "The Late Late Show" when it expires at the end of the year. Let the speculation begin! http://www.deadline.com/2014/04/craig-ferguson-leaving-late-late-show/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bammy9 26 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Saw that one coming. I think either Jon Stewart or Chelsea Handler could take the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev57 46 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Saw that one coming. I think either Jon Stewart or Chelsea Handler could take the spot. Jon Stewart taking a back seat to Colbert? I don't think so. And while not shocking, it really is disappointing to hear CraigyFerg is leaving. Easily my favorite late night show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 ...but seriously, not surprised after the surprise Colbert choice. At least he's keeping busy. (Though Comedy Central.... you have an opening at 11:30...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadcowatbk 144 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Isn't Craig Kilburn available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Isn't Craig Kilburn available? I think he'd be a decent fit, pairing especially well with Colbert. However, I think that would blow too many minds... Kilborn preceded Stewart. Letterman hired Kilborn and Ferguson. Stewart begat Colbert. Ferguson suceeded Kilborn. Letterman will give way to Colbert. Kilborn following Craig would complete the circle of life and the world would explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Nononono. What you do is hire Kilborn. Then you wait until he decides to leave. THEN you hire a new host, who turns out to be a comedic genius, makes the show their own, and he ends up as a Jeopardy answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4168 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm casting my vote for Joel McHale. Yes, he has a current commitment with "Community," but he's toiled away on "The Soup" (for many years, it was the ONLY show on E! worth watching) for close to a decade. It wouldn't be that dramatic a departure from CraigyFerg, and "Late Late" can remain at Television City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Twitter has now exploded with a fan campaign for... you guessed it... Frank Stallone Norm MacDonald to become host of the Late Late Show. #latelatenormnorm. My reaction to the best Weekend Update anchor taking over?

ToriElectra 291 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Let us not forget, he was also Turd Ferguson (aka his Burt Reynolds parody on Celebrity Jeopardy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
