"So, imagine my situation, I'll try to be funny while trying to keep my own job. So, this is my last show."
Ferguson added that "if we held late night talk shows to the same moral standards of clergymen and politicians, then I'm out." But seriously, he joked, "I've enjoyed my time here. If I inadvertently say something that gets me fired, well, at least I hope it's funny."
