Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show has proved to be the only talk show that I can view every episode from beginning to end. Its been almost two years since he has stepped down, and his replacement, James Corden, whom I like, has undone all of Ferguson's work to make The Late Late Show something different. Talk shows are hardly watched on television any more. Many resort to the internet to watch bits and pieces of a rehearsed interview. Ferguson did not follow any of the established talk show rules. His conversations with celebrities were unique and often times strange, but always hilarious. His running gags never got old, and his wit never failed. His presence in Late Night Television was the only ripple in an otherwise dry, routine genre of television. I will never forget Ferguson. His shows would always make me laugh, often times for the first time that day. I will never lose respect for the man who, " Made something that wasn't here before."
