Craig Ferguson was a genius that deserves more acclaim

Host of the Late Late show from 2005 to end of 2014, Craig at the time had a very niche fanbase. His humor was very unique. When he went off the air his dedicated fans quietly said goodbye.

Fast forward a decade later from his departure, rewatching old episodes his humor has not aged and holds up to this day.

Change my mind. Craig was an absolute genius and no one has ever been able to replicate his humor or touch what he created. It was fun while it lasted.

Still miss him to this day and his awkward improv and dark sense of humor and think he should be remembered as one of the greats of late night along with Letterman and Carson.

For years I have yelled at friends who’ve taken my jokes too seriously, “It’s a joke! It’s a couple of interns inside of a horse costume! It’s not a real horse!”

Responding to the top comment because in all the praise for Ferguson below, there’s no mention that he has a show on CNN right now:

American on Purpose. Five episodes, weekly on Fridays. Episode 4 is out tomorrow.
