As I'm probably the biggest SCG mark on the list, you all know I'll check this
out should it get picked up.
I am curious about the show description, probably because of a badly written
piece. I'm getting mixed messages as to whether it is a daily or a weekly
show. In my head, the reference to strip suggests it's five nights a week (or
maybe four, as most of the major network late night programs regularly skip
Fridays). That would fit with the show being marketed to fill spots usually
taken by sitcom reruns. But this description of the show as a review of the
week's shows makes me think a weekly effort.
Also, is the reference to Ferguson and his friends just an attempt at
alliteration, or is this maybe a panel show? That's probably the only way you
could have more than one guest on in a 30 minute format. Or they eschew guests
entirely and we have something like what British Jimmy does in the beginning
act of his LLS where there's a lot of back and forth with the staff and band
members (a holdover from COVID-era shows) in place of a more traditional
monologue.
Whatever it is, it'll be much better than Comics Only reruns.

Craig Ferguson shot a pilot in the UK earlier this month and is being taken out
to potential buyers by distributor SPT this week in Los Angeles.
Channel Surf with Craig Ferguson, which also marks the comedian’s return to
late-night since leaving CBS’ The Late Late Show in 2014, will feature Ferguson
and his friends as they “review the shocking, surprising and hilarious moments
of the week’s shows.”
