Along with early names mentioned for possible replacements such as Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong>, Chelsea Handler<\/strong>, Jon Stewart<\/strong> and Conan O’Brien<\/strong>, we’ve seen many more names circulating through the rumor mill, including Jay Leno<\/strong>, Louis CK<\/strong>, Amy Poehler<\/strong>, Chris Hardwick<\/strong>, Tina Fey<\/strong>, Stephen Colbert<\/strong>, Ellen Degeneres<\/strong> and John Oliver<\/strong>. Some articles are simply throwing names around<\/a>, others claim that people at CBS have been talking<\/a> with would-be replacements.\r\n\r\nOur take is this: CBS probably won’t say anything for a while. If they’ve learned anything from NBC’s late-night host succession plan failures, they won’t make any announcements too early and give critics months to chip away at their choice and build up unreasonable expectations. Will they choose a woman? Will they choose someone with social media street cred? Will they follow the trend of political satire, or take the format in a new direction? Everybody has a “list,” but the only list that will count is on the desk of network president Les Moonves<\/strong> as CBS. In the meantime, we’ll enjoy watching Dave for another year.\r\n\r\nCanada Tour Wraps Up\"CF<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\r\nCraig Ferguson<\/strong> wrapped up his second major tour of Canada in the past year, with stops in Toronto and Montreal last weekend. The newspaper in Ottawa<\/a> reviewed his show there, and the paper in Toronto<\/a> had a nice article ahead of his visit there. Thanks to @7thEvan<\/strong> and for a great photo from the Toronto show.\r\n\r\nCraig Hosts TPIR<\/strong><\/span>\r\nIn case you missed it, here is Craig’s episode of The Price Is Right<\/em>, where he gave away a bunch of prizes, with regular LLS announcer Shadoe Stevens<\/strong> handing announcing duties, plus Geoff Peterson<\/strong> and Secretariat<\/strong> acting as models.\r\n\r\nVideo courtesy: vaderTPIR<\/span>\r\n
