Craig Ferguson Announces He's Stepping Down

On April 28, 2014 Craig announces his retirement from the late late show. Saying his last show will be in December 2014 and nobody but him chose to do this. Craig, you will be extremely missed!

I became a die-hard fan of the show in 2008 and I definitely have a ton of nostalgia for those years of following every week. But I just have to say that even though I feel you cause I hate missing shit, it really makes me so happy that people are still discovering it and loving it over 5 years after it ended. I always felt weird saying that a talk show was my all-time favorite TV show so the fact that it just keeps living on and getting more and more popular on KZbin is amazing to me. Craig's the best.

You've noticed by 2015 all the network late shows started doing similar skits and monologues on the same political topics drawing the same conclusions on the same nights in the same order from March 2015 onward. It almost seems the current shows are just political editorial mouthpieces to hypnotize an audience like the news rooms have become. Maybe he just wasn't going to renew his contract under those circumstances. If so, I have only one thing to say. FREEDOM!

I guess he is finally back with a new "talk" show. The unfortunate thing is, it only on Sirus Radio.

[@paulfaulkner5786]

Ferguson could have EASILY kept my attention for another decade or two. I cant find anyone legitimately funny when I scroll thru the late night channels anymore. Everyone has turned into a political hack. Ferguson may have made political jokes, but just like Carson and Don Rickles, he was never mean spirited. Nobody could do late shows like Carson. Ferguson came close. And now there is nothing. I find most nights I dont even watch current late shows on tv. I watch the best of Carson and Ferguson via youTube. Thank God they can still be found there.

[@SuperRand13]

He was Real! That's why he stood out and still gets loads of views years later on youtube today. Other hosts are just so fake it's obvious that the whole point of the show is for it to be an advert for celebrities that they get to put adverts on. (they being the company behind the show)

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

SuperRand13 Completely agree. I used to like Conan but whenever I see him tee up a comedian to do scripted material I just wince, and he's the most experienced late night host. Fallon has to rely on parlour games and interrupting his guests, James Corden has singing in a car....... That's it. Seth Myers is likeable but needs more experience, Kinmel's not bad as is Colbert but they aren't in Craig's league in terms of just going off the cuff. Shame really as the effect it's having on the viewing population is gradually dumbing them down which is a damn shame but that's what advertisers, TV networks and the government really want.

[@undeny]

smokejc Corden seems like a good host and great with his skits. Much more in tune with the current generation I think. But Craig's conversations and improvisation were pure joy. Genuinely made me laugh.

[@smokejc]

I think Craig was more mature, and both of their senses of humor appeal to different groups of people. It's hard to imagine Corden giving a speech in the likings of Craig's sobriety monologue, etc. I do agree that the contrast is palpable, but since I didn't really watch Craig nor do I watch Corden (I don't live in the states and so I don't have those shows here), it doesn't really affect me.

[@DavidKFZ]

The viewer base was small because it was always broadcasted so late, they were fanatical because it was by far the most interesting talk show, so many odd things happened, a razor sharp wit from both Craig and Josh (Geoff) and also extremely rich with long running in-jokes. That's how it is though, the watered down products go mainstream, Craig understood that and was happy with his late late slot, an interview with him shows he wasn't interested in an earlier slot because it would have constricted his style of humour

[@cftvnetwork]

I get that they were his boss but just because you can fire someone doesn't mean sh¡t if the person (Craig) couldn't really care less. "...ooooo, what are going to do, fire me?!" And he had a strong following for a long time as far as I know, but being in such a late time slot you lose people that have to hit the bricks early in the am. Anyway, I don't know why CBS treated Craig like a red headed (ginger?😳😜🤣)step child. All I know is it's bullsh¡t and it needs to stop or some heads or gonna roll!!!there's a nod to Judas Priest for all ya' soldiers of fortune that read this or don't. Craig & Josh and all the guests who entertained us free of charge and continue to do so here on your tube my tube our tube will always be remembered and held in the highest regard by those that count---all of us little people, great and small. I wish we all could throw a huge party in Craig's & Josh's honor and "show" them a good time while "showing" them our love and appreciation for all the laughter they tossed out there. It's just a pipe dream. Vapor that dissipates before it forms in the air.

What is most impressive is his breath of knowledge and ability to BS at the same time. You have to love this man for building himself a good life despite all the hardship, roadblocks and self induced stupors he dealt with along the way and being in reasonable control of what he does and when he does it. Give him credit for knowing himself and being honest with the fans that he did not want to shortchange himself or the fans when his heart was no longer in his work and he needed to move on. Such a joy to listen to him discuss what we all think but often are unable to say for whatever reason and make all of us, his guests and himself laugh. I have a "serious job" and always enjoyed putting my feet up at the end of the day and checking in for his show so that I could check out of the my everyday reality.

When I heard this news I was seriously depressed for about a month. Not sad, depressed. TV hasn’t been the same since.

[@khairowensullivan7489]

While I'm still binge watching his shows now and I'll definitely keep watching em in the future coz Craig took late night show to a whole new level. He really made it his own. He's way better than Letterman for me. He is dirty, quick and just awesome.

[@jatodd3746]

Discovered his show only last MONTH! Fell in love with Sid and Secretariat. And Kate Mara's Iron Man-era interview.

[@Biggarou]

they never even came close to replacing him and Dave. 2 class acts.

[@St.petersEye]

He needs to come back, world needs laughter bc its a mess rn. This world reset is bs and I need a break

[@MJLambert]

The best late show host of all time. An end to 1 hilarious era. Man....I miss him.....and jeff.....I really miss the two of them! 😭

[@intosomethingsometimes2193]

I cried but proud but still sad because I just FOUND HIM OUT TODAY!!!!

[@savannahm.laurentian1286]

Ferguson changed late night television for the better & forever. Being so gracious to CBS, in addition to the show itself, proves that he's a legend. CBS underpaid him, under supported him (had hamster's promotion budget), took advantage and did not treat him like the gem that he was, however rough around the edges. A rough cut gem lacks over polished phoniness and shines the brighter in authenticity. Lightening in a bottle, man. Lightening in a bottle.

[@cybersal7]

Craig Ferguson and Johnny Carson the 2 best in my lifetime and I’m old.❤️

[@shootybaking]

Sir, that is the most respectful thing I have ever seen.. Class act

[@Elitepear]

Simply the best, better than all the rest...

[@carlcwms]

We need him back at this desk. My all-time favorite host.

[@sydneylee8612]

Craig is second to none as a talk show host and honestly there’s not actually one late night show host I enjoy watching in 2020 and if you did you would be sitting up till 2am in the morning here in Australia. So there you have as Craig would say and here we all are watching Craig Ferguson on KZbin.

[@kusugara]

Craig was and still is the only person who recognised that late night tv is a joke.

[@donmerritt5674]

One of the best late night show ever.

[@ann-cathrinbee2702]

It is lovely to hear him sounding a little more Scottish when he speaks from the heart.

[@katmatally]

I'm sad to see him go. If I need some laffs after a crappy day, or just want to get stupid silly, I love watching Craig ... "Geoff Peterson" ... and that goofy Secretariat WHO'S THAT AT THE DOOOOOR???!!! Alas ... no more meetings of the minds Craig Ferguson/Kristen Bell ... no more Awkward Pauses ... [sigh] ... just a lot of crap TV with no originality. I LOVE Craig's show because it's so strange and hilarious, like him. I hope the KZbin videos stay up for years and years. Thank goodness he's on a few more months anyways. LOVE YOU CRAIG FERGUSON GEOFF PETERSON ;-) SECRETARIAT RABBIT AND ALL THE REST

[@garysimons1608]

Was the best! So glad we get to relive them here. Thanks so much Jay Leno Fly!

[@KCGeno]

I miss him and Geoff so much, I look to KZbin for these clips! They never failed to make me laugh ... or even to do a classic spit-take.

[@HarosOfStyx]

whatever the reason, he's the next best thing after Letterman. he actually engages his female guests. he's always funny. He's not afraid to say something like Letterman has been in the past 10-15 years. He's an awesome host

[@JayCity10]

1. Carson 2. Letterman 3. Ferguson 4. Conan 5. Leno in that order.

[@LesGrossman69]

@@JayCity10 He didn't just engage his female guests, he could've made most of them slaves to his will, LOL!

[@bobettegiorgi9797]

It's years later and I'm crying. I was so shocked when he made this announcement. I still pester him on Twitter to come back to late night. Let him do a Johnny Carson - only 4 nights per week.

[@rollinbenedict2888]

thanks for the vid i never saw this

[@thesimpsons17]

And late night was never the same again.

[@diannebyrd7955]

Why why you were the very best and ONLY one I ever watched I was an RN working 7pm to 7am shift in ICU LOVE LOVE LOVE theme song

[@allendunlap6702]

Having worked for a network affiliate, and having noticed the gradual degradation of content in general as it relates to entertainment value, I believe that Mr. Ferguson interpreted the proverbial "handwriting on the wall". I watched this programme at every opportunity. Not one person at that time or since could hold a candle to his antics, and the milquetoast drivel offered up now stands as testament.

[@mshappyapple8663]

I miss him so much! I used to stay up late just to watch his show. I wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors. There will never be another one like him. And Geoff?? OMG! What can I say about Geoff? LOL!!

[@JGG1701]

He's definitely a one of a kind. Very much missed. Especially at these times.

[@mikemcmahon814]

I watched this more than any other when it was on during it's run. now... I watch it even more and am grateful for the "Strange"! I love watching him laugh!!

[@mikemcmahon814]

by the way Secretariat and Geoff Petersen are ingenious and hilarious!!!!!!!

[@mikemcmahon814]

Oh and 1 more thing his/their flirting and is priceless.

[@Krystalmyth]

And I'm crying. Brilliant...

[@thesingleequestrian413]

I don't know why I watched this I teared up again 🥺 thank you jaylenofly for keeping this chaotically hilarious ridiculousness alive.

[@Billkwando]

I never realized this show had such a great opening and theme song.

[@DeathZephlyn]

I miss his show so much. I remember staying up till 11:30 and watch the opening monologue, and then I would goto sleep at 12 because I had to start work at 7 AM the next morning.
