I still talk to Craig once in a while as he wanted a familiar face to be on his staff when he took over Late Show.
The reason why we hit it off was because I’m originally from Canada (Commonwealth country) and we exchanged ideas of socialist our former countries were. I told him back in canada (until now) we can’t buy beer and booze except from the gubmint’ approved stores and he LOL’d. He wanted to use that in one of the episodes.
