We'll Miss You, Craig Ferguson

A couple weeks back I tried to pay some small tribute to The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, a deeply weird television show I enjoy greatly despite only understanding it maybe 35 percent of the time. It seemed obvious then, given the fresh Colbert-replacing-Letterman news portending a late-night shakeup at CBS, that Craig was not long for this world, and indeed just tonight Ferguson announced he'll be stepping down at the end of the year. This is maybe for the best, but I'll miss him anyway. Below, I try to explain why.
