Now that Craig Ferguson's CBS replacement has (allegedly) been found, America is up in arms over the choice in James Corden, despite the fact that no one who isn't a fan of British comedy or musical theater has heard of him. (Yet. He'll be playing the Baker in the
Into the Woods movie this Christmas.) Apparently the creator of
Gavin & Stacey,
The Wrong Mans,
Horne & Corden is known in the British press
as a little bit of an entitled jag-off, and you know how well that goes down in the US late night scene. (Graham Norton, I'm looking at your weird face.)
But who else could fill Ferguson's Scottish kilt? We found 7 other performers who have a proven track record in the Variety genre.
