Does anyone actually tune into Craig Ferguson for the guests, though? I must admit that I'm not a regular viewer, but when I do watch, it seems like there are a good 30-35 minutes of Craig, Craig and nothing but Craig before the first guest comes out. Which is kind of too bad, since he's a good interviewer and when I do watch, I often find myself wishing he'd spend a little more time with his guests than mugging for the camera, reading email and doing skits. (The monologue is usually great, though.)

craig is the show though sometimes the guests are icing on the haggis.

Craig Ferguson Is more entertaining when he is improvising. If he wants to keep his audience he has to stop the puppet garbage. He is an intelligent entertainer and the puppets and bad skits are free moments for viewers to flip over to Fallon. With tvo and dvrs people will be able to watch both.

I will definitely be tuning in to Craig's show to see Amy Adams

I'd watch the guests on Fallon over Craig's the first two nights, except for one thing: Jimmy Fallon is painfully unfunny. Seriously, it's beyond me how the guy landed either this or his SNL gig.

Fallon's shallow and not very bright AND he's got the curse of Plastic Leno (yawn...) What happens when he runs out of friends to invite on the show?

Craig Ferguson is the funniest man on late-nite tv. Long live warmth, humor, honesty, vulnerabilty and that adorable monkey! I love the puppets -- a nod to the history of vaudeville and theatre.

Craig's show is the only TV show that I watch - period. And I rarely miss it. He is wonderfully real, so quick, funny and charming. His guests really seem to enjoy talking to him. He is a breath of fresh air on network TV!

And I'm pro puppets - especially the monkey and the yodelers!

The Tutu interview was terrific. Craig's C & D list guests were often more entertaining than the A list guests Conan got the night after Letterman had them, & that won't change. I also predict that The Roots will get tired of playing second banana & laughing on cue for Fallon, as happened with Branford Marsalis with Leno.

Although I was tempted to tune into Jimmy - because I do like him [certainly more than Conan!] - haven't done it and Craig's been great this week. The Holly Hunter interview was particularly quirky. I am pro puppets and would like to see them back, at least occasionally.
