Craig Ferguson of CBS’s _The Late Late Show_ signed off Friday night with a star-filled music video, along with guests Jay Leno and Bob Newhart.

“Maybe art is a very grand word but… what I was trying to do here and what I think we have managed to do here is make something that wasn’t here before,” Ferguson told his audience.

Ferguson has hosted _The Late Late Show_ since 2005, when he took over from Craig Kilborn. British actor and comedian James Corden will take over for Ferguson in early 2015.

## Transcript

Craig Ferguson of CBS's Late Late Show aired his final episode on Friday. Here's what he had to say about the end of his ten- year stint. Maybe art is a very grand word. But. But, but, what I was trying to do here, and what I that we've managed to do here, is make something that wasn't here before. While Stephen Colbert may have stolen the spotlight this week with the send off of The Colbert Report Thursday, Ferguson had his own lineup of finale type skits. After a star- studded musical intro and an interview with. With Jay Leno, Ferguson signed off by unmasking the identity of a secretariat co- horse.

Her identity, none other than Bob Newhart. Telling him, he's been in a dream this whole time. Ferguson had been at the helm of the Late Late Show since the previous host, Craig Kilborn, left in 2004. And to some, Ferguson was made for the gig. A writer at the Washington Posts says, Ferguson was spot- on funny, flirty, hyper. And thanks to his mesmerizing Scottish accent, appreciably foreign. He was as good at listening as he was good at riffing. That's really all you need. After doing just over 2, 000 episodes, Ferguson told the audience that while he was done with late night TV, he wasn't retiring.

He gave no specifics, but said to stay tuned. British actor comedian James Corden will take over the Late Late Show on March 23rd.
