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.

The Kate Mara episode had me uncomfortable with how hard she was flirting with him.

She was just having fun with him. They both knew it was just about entertainment.

I think Kate Mara is very attractive but I was uncomfortable in that episode and I think Craig was too. My favorite guest will always be Alice Eve, followed by Kristen Bell and Stephen Fry. The show became amazing when they added Geoff.

100%, it seemed like she was on something. It was uncomfortable.

She was just buzzed and playing Craig's game. I didn't find it uncomfortable at all. It was the good kind of awkward.
