    Josh, you're among the top of my list of best impressionist. Up there with Frank Caliendo, Jay Pharoah, Godfrey, and Kevin Spacey. Awesome stuff. The synergy you had with Craig made the Late Late Show such a golden nugget amongst late night tv shows.

    I remember the nights Drew Carey was the guest host. It was so bizarre seeing him do it in the old studio, so soon after the show had ended. I kept waiting for the camera to pan over to Geoff or to Secretariat.

      @@soscobra Craig left before Christmas, Corden took over at the end of March. From January through March they had a handful of guest hosts, some of whom used Craig's studio, some of whom did not. I think there were nine total. Offhand I can remember Drew Carey, Sean Hayes, Kunal Nayyar, and the late Regis Philbin.

      This is what he was born to do. Some people are just naturally gifted at certain talents like a baseball pitcher, a football quarterback, a race car driver, a singer, a guitar player etc. Ferguson is at improv comedy interacting with guests and audience members. Josh and Craig working together on the show were gold and having the gay skeleton robot in the show was genius. imho.

Like losing an old friend. Glad they are still working together on the road. I will do my best to see them live sometime.

    You do Morgan Freeman better than Morgan Freeman himself. You have every exact little quirk and gesture in his voice that he does. I am in amazement everytime I hear it. I do some voices as well, which include, Herman, Lily and Grandpa Munster. And when I do them, I put in every enuncitaion, right down to the sound of their teeth. It's hard to get a voice just right, but when it clicks, you got it and brother YOU GOT IT!!!!! I would be so honored to meet and work with you some day.

But hey, I think I'll stay up awhile longer to watch Craig & Geoff, that should make it better". But now at 8-8:30pm I think "Nothing left to do but go to sleep & face another fukup day tomorrow". You two guy's Always made me laugh no matter how bad things were. What I'm saying in short is: Thanks Josh & Craig for the good times. And for helping me through some bad times. I miss ya'll & wish ya'll the best of luck in everything you two do.
