@Candlejack:
I don't know about absolute-best, 'cause I just don't watch that much TV. But just off the top of my head, That Mitchell and Webb Look (for straight-up comedy skits) and Top Gear (for comedy-reportage) in the last year or so blow that clip out of the water. Or Have I Got News For You, which is technically a panel quiz show but typically compares pretty favourably to this kind of chatshow format the US seems to like. Not to mention it's all improv...

Craig Ferguson has a show on American TV? So that's what happened to him! I thought perhaps he'd been in rehab for the past decade or so.

Erm, am I the only one who found that rather simple-minded and unfunny? Seriously. I know it's not just an American thing - America gave us Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Simpsons. So you clearly have the capacity for great comedy. Yet you're all seemingly applauding like circus seals and, like that audience, laughing way too hard at something rather stupid. LOL? Really? That clip make you actually laugh out loud? What's in your fucking water supply?

@Candlejack:
This is better (funnier) than any of the crap you see on most European television, talking Germany and UK here.

s'funny, I was watching through that clip thinking to myself "I can only assume this guy moved to the US 'cause he couldn't cut it on UK television with that cheap slapstick humour". ;-)

(Not that there isn't a lot of worse stuff on UK TV; there most certainly is. But the best is far, far better than this.)

@Candlejack: America does make it slightly easier for shows like these. In the UK at least there's not the massive media controversy over every GTA release like they get in America, the daily mail goes a it mental about it but that's about it everyone else reports it once and forgets about it.

Trowble (XBL/PSN) — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:51:42 MDT

That was actually funny. I never really like Craig Fergusons stint as a talk show host. I always thought he should have stuck to Drew Carey, as well as Drew Carey sticking to Drew Carey. Tim Meadows probably found his gig in late night talk shows. The Ladies Man was pretty funny, but I was none to fond of his act on SNL, but that's besides the point, but that's besides the point. GTA 4 has given late night talk shows something to talk about other than other celebs and the news, then again GTA is always in the news. Wait, now I'm confused. Nice skit, Craig, nice...
