My impression of Ferguson's show was that it was a jigsaw puzzle at best, with
pieces being created and assembled with no order beyond "Who's available
today?," with Act 1 taped Monday, Act 2 Thursday, Act 3 the following Tuesday,
and Act 4 the previous Wednesday.
As well, I think his LLS made the same mistake Colbert does, loading the first
half with sub-par comedy. The difference is that Ferguson did great panels,
throwing away the blue cards and having real conversations. Colbert -- at least
when in the Ed -- has shown no ability to do that. After all this time, he's
still as terrible an interviewer as Fallon (though I have to assume that latter
is still the case, since I've never been able to stomach more than five minutes
of his show).

Can confirm the same thing was done for a taping of Ferguson's Late Late
Show. Cake had been recorded months ago, and we got the bad news just before
that segment would have been taped if they were in studio.
Of course, they were taping two that day, and it was certainly easier on their
schedule not to show it.

I went to a taping of "Conan" some years back where the musical guest had been
recorded in advance, and they did not show the recorded performance to the
audience.
This is material from that taping that didn't appear in the show as broadcast,
beginning with Conan explaining the situation to the audience during the
commercial break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ozIfSxda0Q (Timothy
Olyphant's "underwear" reference relates to him complaining during his
interview that Ellen DeGeneres gives away underwear to her audiences.)

Dave Sikula, to Mark Jeffries, in part, Sept 9th:
I wonder, do they make the audience sit through the recorded band appearances?
Considering how awful they are, it'd be a blessing.
