      +Cloud Cuckoo Yeah, but he didn't want Letterman's slot. Like, at all. He quit of his own accord...CBS didn't push him out. I miss him too (and his new show Join or Die is not a good show by comparison). Even if he got tired of interviewing celebrities and doing Late Night schtick, he was good at it. But with Corden's ratings and critical praise, I don't think CBS is missing Craig at all. We're the only ones who are.

      Craig wanted the slot he was in. He didn't want anything to do with the polished, overly cleaned, boring, scripted, fake and unfunny classic late night programming.
      You can see an evolution from when he started to when he ended in how he pushed the few boundaries that were still left on his timeslot. He reveled in the little freedom he had and did his best to expand that beyond what usual US Television programming allows.
