I don't mind the pieced-together nature of some Late Late Show eps, but prefer the ones that are shot that day and in sequence. Ultimately, C-Ferg's wit, enthusiasm and devil-may-care attitude win out, regardless. This is as good a place as any to agree with the positive reaction to the new

Snyder always made a point of informing viewers when the show wasn't live or live-to-tape (Craig will sometimes make jokes about it, pretending to forget what day of the week it is, and so on). Usually, not sometimes. Keep in mind, too, that Dave pretapes an entire show each week,

Yeah, but when they're doing it with Leslie Mann (taped during her Funny People press tour to promote Shorts), for crying out loud, somebody's being lazy. From: Kevin M. drunkbastar...@gmail.com A lot of that comes down to the misconception (as discussed in a

Very interesting. I don't watch many daytime talkers anymore, but I don't recall getting that jarring feeling that something was off (with pretaped segments) that you get with Craig. Part of it is that Craig makes fun of it so often. Maybe part of it is that we expect a lot of topicality with

Not all of it is CBS-directed. The reason why Jason Ritter was scheduled to appear Monday, Tuesday, and this evening was because Craig went long with the other guests each night. His two week vacation was actually three, because of pre-taping. Of course, had he not said anything, it might

I apologize for the repetitiveness. It has been a beast of a day. Related to the world of television, one of the reasons why I had a bad day was due to Glenn Beck and his band of merry idiots getting all up in my business (as the kids say). I'd say more, but, hand to God, I'd probably get fired.
