New Craig

I kinda like the gamble that CBS is taking with its new "Late Late Show" host, Craig Ferguson. Too many late-nite hosts (Jimmy Kimmel, Carson Daly, and former CBS host Craig Kilborn) style their shows to appeal to the 'wasted frat guy' audience. But Ferguson, a forty-something Scotsman, seems to be a going for a smarter crowd. Even his new theme song (which you can hear at the link above) has a clever Beatles-ish vibe to it. Will he succeed? Probably not, but it's still interesting.
