Man, do I agree with this statement. We could really use Craig and his show today. It would be a huge breath of fresh air. Over ten short years, Ferguson repurposed a show on a hum-drum set at a dead-end 12:30 time slot into a hidden gem.

It wasn't clear at first, and the few late nights when I first stumbled onto the show, I didn't look past my expectation that it was crap. Once I actually saw full interviews and episodes of the show, I joined the many others (judging from YouTube) who recognized during and after his reign that Ferguson represented a master class of late night stewardship. Due to his intelligence and candor in the hosting role, his irreverence, and his commitment to keeping his audience lauging and his guests respected and comfortable, he has been placed by some online next to Carson, Conan and Letterman - by some well above any of them.

The reason may be the substance that he imbued his show with - establishing a actual connection with human beings. It felt organic and, despite a dancing horse, an innuendo-spewing gay robot sidekick, and the occasional cursing rabbit puppet, it had integrity. Yes, his jokes were dirty and went for the cheap jokes, but he cared about his guest - making them look good and feel comfortable. In fact, that was the point of it, from the strange supporting puppets to the dirty jokes to the "mouth organ" harmonica -- all the offbeat-ness were traps he had set, in-roads for the guest to relax, laugh, and find authentity, whether the conversation dove deep or (as more often happened) waterskiied across a surface of banter and inneundo.

That was the genius - much of the time, guests either determined from the low production value and the puppets that the show was awful, and let their guard down, or they fell for the host, noting either his charm and Scottish sensibilities or his character as a man determined to put them at ease. His choice to rip up the question cards at the start of every interview signaled to guests that the impersonal, constricting format that might have reigned on other talk shows was symbolically shredded, that the cameras were off, and that the nerves or guardedness of "succeeding" on late night TV were dissolved.

One other choice that worked towards this effect was that - unlike Letterman, Carson, Leno and others - stand ups didn't perform on his show. In his later years Carson became seen by comedians as a kind of Godfather or Roman emperor who could make or break an aspiring stand-ups fate with a nod or a thumbs up (for evidence, just look up interviews with any famous comedians of the 80s or early 90s regarding the significance of Carson in their career).

Ferguson took a different tack. He did not make careers, but neither did he break them. He was not a power broker, and he had his weaknesses like any show. And other shows made their guests happy with their favored guests - Norm MacDonald and Jim Carrey loved Conan, Jimmy Stewart and many others were regulars with Johnny, and Matt Damon has been lovingly jilted by Kimmel a dozen times. But if you watch enough of his interviews, it would be hard to dispute one argument - Craig's show was a place where a vast majority of guests could be assured they would look good in their guests' hands and have a really good time. Indeed, The Late Late Show greatest testament may be the devotion and love of his guest regulars, some of whom became a kind of part of the show - most notably Kristen Bell, who appeared on the show some 23 times (including non-guest appearances).

And in between the sex jokes he managed to perform shows in Scotland and Paris, document his journey to earning American citizenship, and win a Peabody Award for his interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

It also had, in my opinion, the greatest theme song of any talk show ever.
