The best sidekick in late night is a robot: Geoff on Ferguson's show.

The best thing that Ferguson has going for him is the same thing that Dave an Conan had going for them when they were on in the later time slots. And that is that the network doesn't pay them much attention. So they can experiment, be whacky and offensive. And the audience is not large enough to offend many people.

Personally, i love Craig Ferguson's show. I think that his off-beat charm endears him to the audience. But i'm not usually up that late and i won't fill up up my tivo with it.
