IIRC, Drew had George with him in April as well (sitting at Geoff's podium); I had thought this would mean Geoff would be the announcer on TPIR the next morning, when in fact it ended up being Shadoe on the mic and Geoff & Secretariat served as "Ferguson's Foxes" (or whatever - and yes, I know they're just called 'the TPIR models' now).
I watched some of Drew's monologue last night and had to switch away - not because Drew was doing a bad job, but because somehow seeing that set look so bare (no robot, no horse, no rhino on the wall, no mantle w/ picture of Angela Lansbury & Paul McCartney - actually, no fireplace at all, no TARDIS w/ kangaroo testicles on the desk) and seeing 10 years of SCG gone like that...it seemed unpalatable somehow. I also really miss hearing Craig's theme tune; I'm not shocked that it's been retired since Craig left, but I still miss hearing it every night. I hope Corden gets a new set (as a way to create a break from Craig), but knowing CBS it probably won't happen.
