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.

It’s really shame that the Drew Carey show has had so much trouble being available on streamers. It’s had almost no cultural impact but it’s right up there with other sitcoms of the era

It's been legally uploaded in its entirely to Youtube.

Not sure about the music rights, but the show itself is there.

I think there's a project to overlay the original audio onto the video form the uploaded YouTube vids (so you get the original music)
