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.
