should have been first choice. I think Colbert will do fine but, Ferguson seemed like the natural go-to replacement for me.

or smart, for that crowd.

But, I buy that after 10 years he doesn't want to host a late nite show any more. Seems that's for the guys who lost a lot of their energy and just want a steady gig. Ferguson always seems just a little bit restless. Notice how he never can sit down for long?

First, I lose The Colbert Report, and now Craigyferg too

I watched John Oliver's new show, and it will probably get better with time, but it was not all "that"..

Craig needs a show like Maher does..only it needs to be 90 minutes and on a couple of times a week..

I will miss Geoff and Secretariat and all the goofy antics..

CBS is losing more than they think they are..
