Craig Ferguson apparently does not envision spending the rest of his life as a late-night host. I've been saying here for some time that he was not a slam-dunk to someday replace Letterman and this would seem to endorse that view.
I haven't written much here about the late night situation because I find late night TV doesn't interest me as much as it once did.That will change but maybe not before the folks doing it change or change their acts. Years ago, I wrote what a fan I was of both Leno and Letterman. Lately, their shows rest unwatched for long periods on my TiVo and when I do watch one, I often bail long before Guest #2. Both programs have gotten way too predictable for me and I find myself not liking them as much as I once did. I think they both came through the recent skirmish looking like small men.
Based on the ratings, I may not be the only one who broke the habit. I'd much rather watch Molly the Owl. Her act is a lot fresher.
