Craig Ferguson Is Leaving The Late Late Show

Comic will pack up his robot skeleton sidekick in December

Because we can’t have nice things and because life is nothing but a series of searing disappointments, Craig Ferguson on Monday announced that he’ll be stepping down as the host of CBS’ The Late Late Show.

Following the lead of his late-night running mate, David Letterman, Ferguson broke the news to his studio audience during the taping of tonight’s program.

“CBS and I are not getting divorced, we are ‘consciously uncoupling,’” Ferguson cracked. “But we will still spend holidays together and share custody of the fake horse and robot skeleton, both of whom we love very much.”

Ferguson will leave the show in December.
