Frank, I’m curious whether you’ve ever watched The Late Lste Show with Craig Ferguson – on after Letterman?

Mean to add – I have seen only a few seconds of Lopez Tonight, and already decided that I can’t stand the guy. That may well be unfair of me, but that seems to be how our intake of media works nowadays.

I have seen Craig Ferguson a few times, and it seemed like a pretty good show.
