But seriously, Ferguson always looked like he was having a blast, and his enthusiasm was contagious. Jimmy Fallon knows how to have a good time, and Conan O'Brien is a master of the absurd, but the rowdy Scot who once penned a memoir entitled American on Purpose, was perennially unheralded but always great, in an era of hosts clearly aware of tradition and usually overly constrained by it. Ferguson always played fast and loose.

#782. Farewell to Craig and Geoff
Tonight marks the final episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and I for one am pretty sad about that.
I mean, who else in the history of late night television ever had a robot for a co-star? Good ol' mohawked Geoff, I think I'll miss you most of all.

It's easy to play it fast and loose when no one is watching. I never watch any of those late night shows. It's all celebrities and bands hawking their wares.
That was the beauty of no audience. Luckily Craig realized he had such an opportunity and gave whoever did real bang for their buck.
I really like Craig Ferguson but I'm much sadder about Stephen Colbert. Yes, I know he's just moving to another network but his character dies - the end of an era in late night TV.
I'm sure he will get to be smarmy, just not in a political way.
On Comedy Central, Colbert could never hope to be more than Stewart's side kick. On CBS, he can be his own man.
His send off was really good.
By all showbiz standards Geoff the robot is a star, he'll have no problem getting another job.
Can you say Geoff Peterson: The TV Series? Because I can!
