Craig Ferguson is departing as the host of the Late Late Show at the end of this year after being passed over as David Letterman's replacement, and CBS hasn't really considered who will fill his slot. Norm MacDonald has, though.

Fans of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson know well that every show opens with the very same line: "It's a great day for America."

Last night, the landscape of late night television was changed forever when Sid, a rabbit puppet voiced by Craig Ferguson, met Big T, a human puppet voiced by Trace Adkins, and sparks flew. Love knows no bounds!

While the rest of you have your eyes glued to the premiere of Conan O'Brien's new small screen effort, Conan, we at Gawker.TV were monitoring all of the other late-night shows for O'Brien-related mentions. Inside, video of everything we found.

Last night's cold open of the Late Late Show featured a performance by Craig Ferguson, Mythbusters' Jamie and Adam, and his puppets Sid the Bunny and Wavy the Alligator. They performed the 80s hit "Melt With You" by Modern English.

Last night Melissa McCarthy stopped by The Late Late Show to promote Mike and Molly and after some severe flirting and a double entendre or two Craig Ferguson broke out his "mouth whistle" resulting in an impromptu jam session.

It's a relief to know that some celebrities don't want to spam us on Twitter. First, Tina Fey gives tweeting about sandwiches a thumbs down. Watch Jim Parsons explain to Craig Ferguson that his tweets just wouldn't be that interesting.

We don't want to alarm you, but there's something uh.. race-y about the story Patricia Heaton told on The Late Late Show about the time she auditioned for a Gospel Choir.

Craig Ferguson and his robot pal Geoff Peterson have a silly new game: They shout "in your pants" at each other. Repeatedly. Check out all the times it happened this week after the jump.

This is the cold open from last night's Late Late Show, and it's perfect, which should come as no surprise, given the participants. But will "Shatner being Shatner" be enough to make $#*! My Dad Says watchable?

NPH stopped by The Late Late Show last night and just spent the whole time being as cute as a button. Watch him hit on Geoff the robot and debate "vomity" locales with Craig Ferguson.

Ted Danson talked some trash about Larry David last night. Not only is he a crappy house guest and a germaphobe, but he won't let Ted be on the next season of Curb! Danson goes on, saying the show "sucks."

On last night's Late Late Show, America Ferrera stopped by to visit her friend, Craig Ferguson. The interview took an awkward turn when America asked about Craig's infamous snake mug.

Our eyes! Last night, Kathy Griffin visited Craig Ferguson's show and gave us all an undesirable holiday treat: her crotch, sans panties. CBS made sure to censor the crap out of her nether-regions, but somehow we're still scarred.

Betty White, a regular on The Late, Late Show With Craig Ferguson, came on last night dressed as Santa Claus. What came out of her mouth, however, was not so PG-rated. Ganja-talk, parties, and euphemisms to male anatomy? Oh my!

It is en vogue to say that Craig Ferguson is the best late night host on TV right now. And for good reason. He uses a reptilian puppet to interview his guests.
