Craig Ferguson will end his tenure as host of the Late Late Show on December 19. CBS has announced the roster of guests who will appear on the show during the last three weeks.
Appearing on the very last show? Former Tonight Show host, Jay Leno. The pick isn’t all that surprising when you consider that Craig has had Leno on his show recently as a guest. Also, Late Show producer, David Letterman, has backed off his feud with Leno since NBC unceremoniously dumped him from Tonight.
Steve Carell, Jon Hamm, Jim Parsons and more are set to stop by. British comedian, James Corden, will take over Late Late Show in 2015.
