Love the way he skewers the media. He's been doing that show for a long time, he's been hinting for some time that doing the show was burning him out.

It was pretty damn funny.

That's it?

That seems like a pretty obscure and kind of outdated reference just to pick a dead guy when any dead guy could have been chosen.

I need to hear it from SNR, because that's not funny.

I can't imagine doing a show like that for five years, let alone, fifteen. He's a very talented guy that has many more options, so I wish him well.

I think I've seen maybe five episodes during that run but he was good.

Not getting it either. Would expect that not to be the explanation.

Craig Ferguson would be the best replacement, IMO.

I'm sure they'd have no problem moving the show to LA.

I'd like that a lot so long as they gave him some bit of freedom to do his thing.

Need someone who is snarky but also at the same time not come off as an asshole.

I think Jason Jones or Jason with his wife Samantha Bee would do a fine job.

I would imagine that Comedy Central would give him a ton of leeway

I agree. I think the combination of his movie not being a hit, and Oliver's ratings going up while he was gone probably took a toll on him. He has lacked a lot of energy since he came back.

I assume folks on the right are thrilled.

No way they get the gig. They need a "name" to replace him. They already could have chosen them to do the summer gig and didn't.

If I'm a big name comedian, I'd be considering this gig.

Ferguson doesn't strike me as political enough for that job. I like the guy and its just a shame he is doing game shows. The late late show is a crap fest now. I always felt Craig was promised something like a shot at the late show when Dave retired. My guess is he didn't get so mush as a interview. I know a lot of guessing.

The game show thing strikes me as a temporary gig that Craig doesn't have to work very hard at. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't on something pretty prominent in a couple years.

Never watched it, no deal to me
