January 3, 2005 –
Craig Ferguson took over the reins of The Late Late Show for the first time on CBS TV on this date. He would go on to host the program through 2014.
CBS held auditions for the host job by letting their nominees host for one week, which Craig Ferguson obviously won. The others who auditioned were Michael Ian Black, Damien Fahey, and D.L. Hughley.
