I know it will never happen, but I'd love to see Craig Ferguson come back to the Late Late Show, even for a short run. He is sorely missed.

Desus & Mero was the most exciting Late Night talk show since Jon Stewart's Daily Show imo. It was the only one I went out of my way to watch anyway. Shame they broke up, but I hope it inspires studios to try and pivot away from boomer-centric milquetoast mediocrity the genre has languished in for decades now. Conan perhaps being the only exception.

Fuck late night. All my homies fill that void with podcasts.

There’s have been a few times where they rotated hosts on shows the ratings went up. It should tell ya late night is more about the guest than the host. Long gone are the days of i gotta see the monologue.

Ferguson on the late late show may have been the last time late night got my attention. Thankfully clips are all over YouTube.

Late night talk shows don’t mean anything when celebrities are doing hot ones on YouTube. When content is clipped out for social media.

And I think for the most part celebrity isn’t that big of a thing anymore. I think some YouTube shows get better views than most of late night.
