How Much Is The Voice Behind Geoff Peterson On Craig Ferguson's 'Late Late Show' Worth?

Publish date: 2024-07-24

Craig Ferguson broke the mold when it came to late-night talks shows. As host of The Late Late Show from 2005 to 2014 on CBS, Craig injected his own whimsical, overtly flirtatious, strange, and oddly sexual sense of humor into a stale and outdated formula. In short, he found his own way of making the medium work. And it did. To this day, it remains a cult classic, and fans are still wondering why he really left the show and if he's happy with how his career has unfolded since.

At the very least, fans have the internet to remind them of all the hilarious antics from Craig's Late Late Show days. Among them was the inclusion of his Gay Robot Skeleton sidekick, Geoff Peterson. In many ways, the truth of the character was to further satirize the late-night genre. But Geoff's inclusion actually raised the quality of Craig's show and made it into an absolute hit... especially among stoners and those who love a good awkward pause. While Craig should get a ton of credit for this, so should the man behind Geoff, Josh Robert Thompson. Here's who exactly he is and how much he's worth...

Josh Robert Thompson Is Said To Only Be Worth $200,000

The truth is, there's simply not a lot of good information out there about Josh Robert Thompson's net worth. However, Celebrity Net Worth claims that the voice actor is only worth $200,000. This seems to be the consensus on the internet. While most of these sites tend to greatly exaggerate the size of a celebrity's net worth, as it's almost impossible to know every single detail of the inner workings of their finances, this may be the case of them under exaggerating.

After all, Josh Robert Thompson lent his voice to The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson for almost 500 episodes. Despite it notoriously not having a big budget, there's no doubt that he would've made a decent salary from that show. Craig was reportedly making around $8 or $9 million per season of the Late Late Show in it's later years which means that Josh would have at least been making a salary of around $100,000 per year. So, just with that, there's no reason to believe his net worth is anything lower than $1 million.

Who Is Josh Robert Thompson?

Josh is from Cleveland, Ohio, and claims to have been raised by classic sitcoms. Perhaps all of this exposure allowed him to develop the skills to be a truly fantastic impressionist. After all, aside from a musical theater background in high school, his ability to imitate famous people landed him on The Howard Stern Show. This is after Howard found out that Josh had imitated Arnold Schwarzenegger and called in Fox and Friends pretending to be the then-governor.

Josh's ability to play Arnold was featured in one of the most famous ongoing pranks on The Howard Stern Show where they pranked George Takei. He contributed to the acclaimed radio show from 2005 to 2011 while working with Craig Ferguson.
