Late night: Five guests to get excited for this week – April 29, 2019
By Matt Moore
Craig Ferguson on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Close out your late night week by catching up with Craig Ferguson. He will be on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Friday May 3.
Ferguson is no stranger to late night as most fans know. He hosted The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson from 2005 through 2014. When he was passed over by CBS as a replacement for the retiring David Letterman, it marked the end of Ferguson’s late night run as he chose to step away and enter a new stage of his career.
As we all know, Ferguson was succeeded by James Corden and Letterman’s The Late Show was handed over to Stephen Colbert. But as you can see from the clip above, Ferguson doesn’t seem to hold any ill-will and had some good chemistry with Colbert.
If you were a fan of Ferguson’s time as host of The Late Late Show then you’ll definitely want to catch up with him on The Late Show. He will be promoting his upcoming memoir Riding the Elephant: A Memoir of Altercations, Humiliations, Hallucinations, and Observations.
Anyone familiar with Ferguson knows that he is an excellent storyteller and has a unique story of his own. The memoir will be a fantastic read and we can expect a preview of it on Friday’s Late Show.
