Very little indeed. As we hope you saw, Craig dropped the monologue he had pre-recorded on Thursday, in light of the events in Colorado. In its place, he opened with some comments about the day and why the show was changed. After a break, they returned to the show&#8217;s email segment, planned interviews with <strong>Jason Biggs<\/strong> and <strong>Jordana Brewster<\/strong> and ended with a segment with comedian <strong>Brian Scolaro<\/strong> that had been recorded earlier and was slated to air next week.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a sensitive and appropriate way to make changes at the last minute. Several media outlets noticed what he did at the beginning of the show, including <a href=\"http:\/\/watching-tv.ew.com\/2012\/07\/21\/aurora-dark-knight-craig-ferguson-jay-leno-jimmy-fallon\/\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gossipcop.com\/craig-ferguson-colorado-shooting-monologue-video-opening-late-show-batman-tragedy\/\" target=\"_blank\">GossipCop.com<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toofab.com\/2012\/07\/21\/craig-ferguson-changes-friday-night-monologue-after-colorado-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\">TooFab.com<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/late-show-craig-ferguson-dark-knight-rises-shooting-monologue-352763\" target=\"_blank\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.
