Craig Ferguson has announced that he won’t be renewing his contract with CBS and will end his run as host of “The Late Late Show” in December.
Twitter users have been calling on CBS to name comedian and SNL alum Norm Macdonald as Ferguson’s replacement. The push started lightly a couple of days ago but really picked up steam last night:

Last night, #LateLateNormNorm was trending:
Overnight, Macdonald re-tweeted many of the calls for him to host “The Late Late Show,” both with and without the #LateLateNormNorm hashtag. Here’s just a small sampling:
