The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson Ferguson agreed to a contract extension through 2014. As part of the deal, CBS will co-produce the show with Worldwide Pants and CBS Television Studios and the show will move to a bigger studio. Although financial terms were not disclosed, the extension likely included a raise beyond what "Variety" reported had been his US$13 million salary. Following the departure of Jay Leno from "The Tonight Show" and the late night shake-up at NBC, both "Late Show" and "The Late Late Show" struggled in the ratings against Jimmy Fallon and his successor at 12:30 a.m. ET/PT, "Late Night with Seth Meyers".
