Movie Connections:

Follows "The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder" (1995)

Hey, it's pretty good!

Forget "Carey, you're fired!", I think Craig has found his niche. I was a little skeptical when they gave him the job, but he doesn't jump around like a monkey (*cough* Conan *cough*). Very sophisticated humor - which this is - is always welcome in my living room.

He seems to genuinely like his job, which is not to say the others do not. I think he, above all, was surprised to learn that CBS had given him the job. He has taken the show to a whole new level, something that blithering idiot Kilborn could never do in a million years. His delivery is so crisp and when he does bomb, although he rarely does, he takes it swimmingly.

If I were CBS and Worldwide Pants, I would give him a long-term contract as soon as possible.

I give it 10/10.
