Craig has been taping more shows in advance of late, probably due to his press obligations for How To Train Your Dragon 2, opening on Friday. I haven't seen Monday's show yet, so I don't know if it was taped pre-passing or not.
I'm not up to speed on Craig's pre-LLS, but he comes from a similar punk background and is just a few years younger than Mayall. I'm not surprised to hear Mayall may have influenced Craig, even if it's unconscious.

I was surprised at how many of his mannerisms have made their way into Craig Ferguson's monologue persona. I watched the first couple of segments of the Late Late Show last night to see if Craig would acknowledge Mayall and he did not. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
