Former late-night host Craig Ferguson joins the Hyenas for a wide-ranging, hilarious, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation. Craig breaks down why he walked away from late-night television at the top of his game, what he didn’t like about the modern talk-show machine, and how freedom became more valuable than fame. Chris and Yanni also dive into Craig’s deep love of historical fiction, storytelling, and how history shapes comedy and culture. this episode is WILD.
