    The most authentic funny, charismatic, talented host working in late night entertainment (besides Graham Norton) is leaving his post in the coming months.

    I was introduces to him through Youtube videos and his interviews and general manner would make make talking to a broom entertaining.

    Tragedy, the man is one of the best legit REAL conversationlists there is.
    One of two chatshows I can not only tolerate but I watch like a giddy child. Cheers me up no end.
    He will teach you how to talk to women seriously, lol

    Moments like this

    And I think, the best honest chatshow moment ever. Inspiring, dark and somber, yet very funny. Someone on TV has to be intellectual and have ethics. Thank god he's also hilarious. If you haven't watched its one best things you'll ever watch listen to. BY FAR.

    If his guest wants to trade jokes, that's just fine with him -- but if they want to be serious, he can actually hold an intelligent conversation with them. He has the smallest budget, little polish or scripting or veneer and it's all the better/cosier for it. Hard to believe that this a primetime mainstream show with quirks

    It always seems that guests really enjoy being on his show rather than just going through the motions. Does he have something else lined up?

    I'm sure it's a great coup by RTE, replacing Tubbs faux US chatshow host schlock with a bit of the real thing, and Dublin is closer to Glasgow for Craig to reconnect with his oul' sod! :)

    I watched a lot of Craig Ferguson on Youtube too. (thanks SlinkyMolitar!). He's very good. He can be very self-depricating in a very funny way and he is very intelligent.

    I love this lip sync

    Big fan. I guess he isn't happy about not getting the Letterman gig.

    Jesus, that'd be utterly fantastic to have him, though I think he has wife and kids in LA.

    He is an American citizen now anyway. As has been mentioned, he has a wife and a kid in L.A.

    There's no chance at all that he'd ever host our LLS! :pac:
