Despite his shoestring budget, Furgie delivers more comedy gold than the rest of the late night gang combined.
Of particular note from just the other night,(
http://www.youtube.com/user/malinky2stoatir?blend=1&ob=4#p/u/18/Q54QcivyYMs) this segment which, even being mere Canadians, provided much jollity north of 49 (actually I am south of 49 by about 60 but that's an accident of history. The best bit starts around the 4 minute mark.
Leno has some great segments, Letterman no longer has red hair and is funny on occasion, Fallon is only annoying when his mouth is moving (but a great band).
Ferguson FTW!

Did you watch the episode where he didn't have an audience? It was brilliant.
My wife and I are quite fond of his musical numbers. The Brittney Spears one was pretty ace.
We keep trying to get a road trip organized to head down to LA and see all the tourist traps like the winchester mansion and disneyland and stuff. but we're making sure that he's taping when we go because we want to go to as many as we can while we're there.

As far as I'm concerned Ferguson's is the only late night show right now that's consistently worth watching, although Letterman is fairly good. I used to like Conan too, but not as much as Craig. He's funny and a good interviewer, and he's not afraid to share painful and personal things with the audience. And I thoroughly approve of the musical acts that get booked on his show.
OTOH, Leno is a lousy late night host. The only parts of his show that make me laugh are the ones where neither he nor his writers were involved in creating the humor (Jaywalking, Headlines, Stuff we found on eBay, etc). During the monologue he spends way, way too much time working the audience for cheers and applause instead of trying to get them to laugh. He needs to learn to ask a question AND THEN SHUT UP when he interviews people, instead of constantly interrupting them. He constantly laughs at his own jokes. I could go on and on.

You're going to be disappointed if you go there to see the Winchester House. It's in San Jose. :D

sorry.. its a So. Cal. road trip :p not just LA.
Personally love it when Craig laughs at his own jokes. but its not like when jay does it. That Prince Charles skit especially. I love it when he legitimately cracks himself up.
