I personally don't think that Ferguson would really be interested in taking over for Dave, as I think he realizes that he wouldn't be nearly as successful earlier in the night. That, and he's not really that much younger than Dave; he'll be 48 in May, and probably past 50 by the time Dave retires and he has a chance to take over. I think he likes the intimacy of his show and really connects with the audience he has built up.
