CraigyFerg is my all-time favorite talk show host. He was equally interesting whether he was being super silly or super serious. And the ladies frickin' loved the dude.

He had the crappiest budget of any talk show I've seen on a major network and he still made it work. Thanks for nothing, Letterman. Just look at how big Corden's production is in comparison.

Every once in a while I will watch an old clip of Craig from his show or his role as Wick whenever I want to smile or need a little pick me up.

I miss Jon Stewart on the Daily Show, Colbert on the Report, and Fergeson on the Late Late Show.

Ferguson's monologues from about 07'-10' were television gold. Nobody else could do what he was doing and he hadn't totally started mailing it in. When he got Geoff, you could tell his monologues weren't as sharp or as well prepared because he could just riff with the appliance for half the show.

I'll never forget how good his "no audience" show was when it was just like the old Tom Snyder show where he just interviewed a guest the whole show. I always thought HBO or Showtime should have given him his own once a week show with that format...smoking on set and everything. It was just a cool setting and Craig excelled at interviewing people he was genuinely interested in.

Also his Autobiography is excellent, every Ferguson fan should read it.

I liked his original format more, but Geoff was a good addition in his own way. I laughed just from seeing Craig laugh hysterically at Geoff's banter sometimes. Even Secretariat contributed some laughs.

I can't even look at Cordon without getting annoyed.

How do people find him the least bit entertaining? Seems like a nice guy, but as a talk show host, he is just awful.

I find Corden to be annoying as hell too. He's just not funny and looks and acts like a rabid squirrel. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard as well.

Ferguson probably gave the best interviews overall, and he shared Conan's ability to be brilliant off-the-cuff which is the main quality none of the current crop (other than Conan) possesses.

Ferguson eulogies his father.

I saw this when it aired. One of the best things I've ever seen on TV.

He had a great classic style late show. He was a really good interviewer and had funny bits. Geoff was great.
