Craig Ferguson has been doing these openings every so often with lip sync versions of songs. The lead in immediately after Letterman ends, which is short and meant to hook you before they run a set of commercials or even the opening credits is perhaps my favorite 3 minutes on TV every day. Sometimes he just comes out and talks, sometimes he just makes funny faces and says nothing, often he goofs with someone in the audience, but a handful of times he's been doing these musical numbers with puppets. On a few occasions you never saw him at all, just puppets and for a few days in a row it was only a tennis ball on the end of a stick. The musical numbers are by far my favorite though. I'm including two in this post, but you can watch several of them on YouTube or the CBS Website for the show.
The yodeling song -
They Might Be Giants - Istanbul (not Constantinople)
This is what he opened with on Wednesday night (I guess technically it was Thursday morning since he starts at 12:37am.)
