I was flipping through the channels, (like a lot of people) trying to decide between Conan and Craig. I came in the middle of Craig introducing a skit as a big picture of Moz flashed on the screen. It was called something like "What Morrissey Is" or "What Morrissey Means." Anyway, about five or six behind the scenes people of the Late Late Show came on, saying what they thought of Morrissey's music. They played a few songs in the background, like Suedehead, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, Bigmouth Strikes Again, etc.. Here's a few (as good as I can remember)...
"When he sings, 'And now I know how Joan of Arc felt,' it's like he's sobbing it right into the microphone."
"His music makes me depressed, but a good kind of depressed. The kind that makes me want to go kick somebody's ass!"
"It's like a cup of Earl Grey tea on a cold London night."
But the winning contest submission was...
"If James Dean's acting could sing, its voice would be Morrissey's."
All the other contestants came into the screen and clapped for the winner. Right after that, it was announced that this was "brought to you by the Late Late Show Phone. Please call, Morrissey." It was all very entertaining.
By the way, this is the show with William Shatner on it, for those who want to tape it if it comes on again.

Or else we could have the typical Morrissey situation:Craig insists again and again, Moz says no, Craig insists, Moz accepts, Moz doesn't show up, Craig asks "why?", Craig gets mad and Moz begrudgingly complies: at the scheduled date and time, he sends Boz Boorer to do the interview in his place.
