I’m so sad Craig is leaving in 9 days!! 🙁 I think the only episode of the show I watched was when he interviewed Chris Pine.
Keeping it classy all the way to Christmas.
Really going to miss Craig, Geoff the robot and Secretariat the horse until December 19th. Can’t wait for James Corden as he takes over The Late Late Show on March 9th.
