I'm with Mike. LLS works for me more often than not. And I find the puppet cold opens funny. (YMMV.) I think Worldwide Pants has made a point of making sure the 12:35 show is different than the Late Show, and Ferguson (and staff) has done a good job of filling some of the holes that's left. My big complaint would be that when they got away from the typical monologue, Craig would go into his real life and his past, which was good stuff. Now, even if it's not a typical series of jokes, the monologue is an attempt to be humorous about the story of day, and is much less compelling. > And whenever I think I'm over Geoff Peterson, the damn > robot makes me laugh - particularly with its recently-installed > smartass-chip. (Kudos to whoever is doing his live dialogue.) Josh Robert Thompson, who also records the canned responses. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
