Anyone who watched Craig's Late Late Show, or has seen his stand-up, knows that he was truly one of the best voices in late-night, leaving us all to wonder why he stepped down. Late-night talk shows have never quite been the same since they stopped tapping with live audiences due to the 2020 pandemic, however, they haven't actually been the same since David Letterman and Jay Leno took their leave.Īfter all, those two were engaged in a pretty epic 'late-night war', one that Conan O'Brien got the sharp end of the stick from, but Craig Ferguson remained pretty unscathed.Ĭraig Ferguson was the man who ran The Late Late Show until internet sensation James Corden came along.
