Stephen Colbert wasn’t the only talk show host to sign off this week—Craig Ferguson bid farewell to his CBS series The Late Late Show on Friday night. Like The Colbert Report star, Ferguson also got a star-studded musical send-off, in the form of a pre-taped music video showing celebs performing and lip-synching “Bang Your Drum,” by the band Dead Man Fall, from Cumbernauld in Scotland, where the host grew up. The segment, which served as the opening of the finale, ended in a live stage performance featuring a gospel choir. Jay Leno, who left The Tonight Show earlier this year after hosting it for most of the past 22 years, was Ferguson’s final celebrity guest. Ferguson told Leno he has admired him and that he has been a good friend to him. Ferguson has hosted The Late Late Show for almost 10 years.
