Standup comic/author Franklyn Ajaye appeared on CBS’ Late Late Show last night. The show is currently being hosted by D.L. Hughley. Host Hughley was complimentary of Ajaye, citing him as an influence. Ajaye was very relaxed as he did a chunk of his set on panel and pushed his book, his CD and DVD. Suggestion to CBS: Consider Ajaye as the host of Late Late Show! Or, take our original suggestion and install Jimmy Pardo as host, with Ajaye as sidekick. Or… Ajaye as host with Pardo as sidekick… Better yet– have the two come out each night and flip a coin. Just for a week. (From all accounts, Hughley isn’t the man for the job.)
