The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

[Marx]

There's a thread for every other late night personality, but not Craig?

This is for all things Craig Ferguson!

Discuss.

I have read that he's leaving once Dave leaves, although I don't know how true that is.

i dont know why he's getting a bad rap in this forum, i think he has is own personality as a stand up comic is great for the most part. it was just like how people didnt like Conan at first when he started the late night show

Hmm...

I haven't heard that. I hope it's not true. Ferguson is my favorite of all the late night guys.

His opening skits are hilarious!

^That's probably my favorite one they've done!

I'm partial to the chimp.

 

[Gilpesh]

Any puppet is comedy gold.

Any puppet is comedy gold.

That is very true.

 

[Gilpesh]

That is very true.

The Muppet showing up was great.

Betty White is greatness on this show. She works blue sitting next to Craig.

FERGUSON NEARLY KILLED HIMSELF, REVEALS IN NEW BIOGRAPHY

It is hard to imagine the hilarious comic ever feeling so down. But in his pre-rehab days in London, the Scotsman writes in his upcoming memoir, “American on Purpose” (out Sept. 15), one Christmas morning he woke up in a tavern storage room amid his own vomit and urine − or at least what he hoped was his own. It was the lowest point of his life.

The comedian writes, “I felt worse than I ever had. ... I was a drunk, a loser and a disaster as a human being. ... The shame was immense. It pushed down on me like a terrible weight.”

And it led him to decide it was time for him to die.

The pub was near the Tower Bridge over the Thames, and Ferguson made a plan to jump in. He was on his way, but bumped into a friend who cheered him up, inadvertently saving his life and sending him on a series of showbiz adventures that led to Hollywood. Ferguson, now healthy and hunky at 47, wears an American flag kilt on the cover of the book to commemorate his US citizenship — and his vision of America as “the land of the second, third and 106th chance.”

Ferguson, who was signed up by HarperCollins editor David Hirshey, still loves the land of his birth, though his Scottish childhood was harsh. But he writes that in this country, “failure is not a disgrace. It’s just a pitch that you missed, and you’d better get ready for the next one..”

Holy ****. HOLY ****. Is this Prince Charles thing tonight hilarious or what.

Holy ****. HOLY ****. Is this Prince Charles thing tonight hilarious or what.

That parchment from Iran was great.

 

[Gilpesh]

HOLY ****! He had the entire audience in front of the camera... that was kinda scary.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Agreed, it was weird how they were standing there. I enjoy Ferguson informal monolgue. Fallon should try an adopt that kind of creativity instead of just doing it because it's tradition. Play to his strength like Ferguson does.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The Chimp is back!

 

[Marx]

It saddens me that this thread isn't even two pages yet...

 

[Gilpesh]

Cronos is winning the poll... it's not much of a surprise. But I did enjoy that Craig got a few votes.
