A new Craig Ferguson show?

I was a fan of his old Late Night show, but ever since he was passed over to replace Letterman, Ferguson has been going through the motions. He already announced he is leaving CBS...he's just finishing up his contract.

Now comes word (in Variety) that he is in talks to host a 7pm nightly talk show through the Tribune. That's an interesing development. Would a talk show work in that time slot? I don't see why not.
