I thought it pretty good. From the opening song "Keep Banging On". Craig is actually singing when the video cuts to the studio. Bummer Peter Capaldi, didn't pop in to send his former band mate off.
Ironically it was the FIRST one that I had ever seen, too!
I never watched the show. Popped up the finale fearing it was a ripoff of the Newhart Show ending. Kinda right but I like what they did. Couple of surprises in there.
Speaking of final shows, I thought the Colbert Report was great. I'd love to see the logistics of getting that many famous people on his show all at once.
The ending was a nod to some of the shows he enjoyed, or so it's my understanding. Not intended as a rip off.
I agree it was kool seeing up on his desk singing.
He dropped hints a few times that he is working on something. But he can't say anything because that is the nature of the business.
He is a producer/host of Celebrity Name Game. It has strong ratings and is in syndication. It's a half hour game show. Granted it's not the Craig of the Late, Late show. But it's something.
I read somewhere that towards the end of this year or the start of next year He, Geoff, the horse, and Michael maybe back in the daytime/afternoon as a talk show host. Ya he had that gig already, but this time it'll be done the way he wants it, with guests he wants. But we'll see.
