Left out one of the greatest hosts
Craig Ferguson was the best. He devolved the late night show, and put it together. His monologue of talking to the camera so you felt he was talking to you. Co-hosted by a skeleton robot and a horse. He chatted with his guests with lots of stickers over the words not allowed. His journey to getting his American citizenship. Best of all was putting him and Robin Williams together and having them riff off each other. His Scottish accent could be turned on & off. I loved when Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) was on & it turned out Peter was lead singer in a band together when they were younger. Craig didn’t hide his past problems with alcohol & drug addiction. There was one night where he castigated everyone for laughing over a TMZ show about a female singer. He kept saying “she is a baby. A baby. Don’t laugh & make fun of her. This was a suicide attempt crying out for help.” How many current hosts have won a Peabody? Craig did. How many current hosts have published books? Craig did. How many did a documentary on going on the road doing standup? Craig did. Go back and do your homework.

I am dreading finishing it, but fully intend to purchase from Audible his books on this topic....Read full review »
