He would do what he felt ought to be done. If you ever watch the full night he gave Desmond Tutu, for instance...the last great late night host.

It's all Colberts and Fallons now. But there was once a better time. Before the dark times.


Exacerangutan
...lbr Colbert is still better than most of them ever were. Ferguson was an outlier.

c_for_characters
It's not hard to be better when Jimmy Fallon is in the pool, ya know?


Exacerangutan
...yeah well he doesn't exactly raise the bar

c_for_characters
But what did it for me was when Ferguson was anointed as one of the greats by Jonathan Winters, the last of the Old Gods.

c_for_characters
He came on saying he went on the shows of all the greats...and included Ferguson in that list.

c_for_characters
That and Rickles kept showing up which said something.

c_for_characters
If the last of the Elder Gods of Comedy come to your show...
