I enjoyed Craig Ferguson for about 3 weeks six years ago. I do agree that Colbert continues to be sub-par on his interview segments, surprisingly so, since I thought he was one of the best on Colbert Report. Also surprising because to me his biggest problem is that he does not listen very well, in spite of his improv training, where listening is supposed to be key.
I did myself FF often through the first guest, and watching the second one.
