Ferguson to replace Kilborn

According to the lore, Craig Ferguson, perhaps best known as “Mr. Wick” on The Drew Carey Show, got Montreal within a year of plunging into standup. That led to fame and fortune, first on British TV, then on American TV and movies. Now Hollywood reporter says:

It appears Craig Ferguson can get comfortable behind the host’s desk on The Late Late Show.[…]

Following (Kilborn’s) departure, more than 20 guest hosts appeared on the show until early last month, when the network whittled the field of candidates to four: Ferguson, Damien Fahey, D.L. Hughley and Michael Ian Black. The four finalists were then invited to return for multinight hosting stints last month.
