Not only is Craig Ferguson not going away, but he's also showing up everywhere now. As predicted, Ferguson may return to the talk show circuit soon after he steps down as host of CBS' The Late Late Show in December. Variety reported the Scottish funnyman is in final negotiations with Tribune Media Services to host a 7 p.m. syndicated talk show, expected to air in fall 2015 across the company's 42 stations.

In April, Ferguson announced he will step down when his contract expires after 10 years as host of the show, which airs at 12:35 a.m.
