Anyone else see this? James Corden to take over from Craig Ferguson as host of the Late Late Show - News - TV & Radio - The Independent
Don't find Craig Ferguson at all funny to be honest, so glad he's off. If James Cordon taking over is true though, that's quite a surprise as he's pretty much unheard of over here. He's a bit of a dick too, but found him funny on League Of Their Own so I'll probably tune in. Who will be the next one to make the leap over I wonder? Maybe they'll post here. Hi everyone, my name is Ant and I really want to live in America with my best mate Dec. Anyone any advice?

I must have been here too long because I've never heard of him.

Wrote and was in Gavin and Stacey.

You might know him from Fat Friends, if you ever watched that.

One of my favorite shows, I also loved the Doctor Who episodes he was in. Seen him do a few bits for Comic Relief and similar, and liked those too. Might give the show ago, don't normally watch that kind of stuff.

Ah that explains it.

Joe Cornish came over so no more Adam and Joe

Sally Redux

Nope.

I feel like Rip van Winkle.

Article got one part wrong about Ferguson, he was known to US audiences prior to taking the late late show over.

He appeared in 146 episodes over 6 years on the Drew Carey Show in the late 90's/early 2000's.

As for the replacement in this article, no clue who he is, if true he will have to work hard to gain an audience considering he is unknown and who knows if he will be any good.

Me too. Nothing mentioned means anything to me.

I do like Craig Ferguson's show though, but I don't see it frequently these days.

You're not alone - I haven't recognized a single name yet in this thread, even the name of the TV shows used to explain who folk are...

Gavin and Stacey has a bit of a cult following though, so might work out.

Co-wrote Gavin & Stacey with Ruth Jones, and IYAM all the talent in that partnership was hers.

BTW Gavin and Stacey is available on-demand for no extra charge if you have Amazon Prime and IMO is a must-watch if you've not seen it.

The British haven't truly taken over until I take over from Conan ...
