My wife and I record his show every night and watch it during dinner the night after (he's on at 12:35AM on CBS here in St Louis). We just laugh ourselves silly some evenings watching this goof ball. After watching Craig for so long, we can't handle watching the 'other' late night guys who are supposed to be 'funny'. His skits are absolutely hilarious. He does a great (lude) Sean Connery, makes horrific fun of Prince Charles, and does these Angela Lansberry skits that are some of the funniest things you've ever seen.....Has there been a MURDER?    I've seen him get so sidetracked doing ad-lib that he blows right trough his guest spots. The other thing, he (and his guests) gets beeped and pixelized more than anybody I've seen on television (it seems like 3-4 times a night). This guy is absolutely off the hook.

If you've never seen Craig before, record and watch his show for about a week. I'll almost guarantee you'll never look at the 'other guys' the same way again.

....oh, there are a few of us going to see him perform his Stand Up show here in town later this January.

Craid Ferguson is on directly after Late Show With David Letterman on CBS.

I've never caught the show myself,,,, yet.

Cheers,

Scott!!

You are right once again!
When I can stay awake, Craig can be great sh*t!  My wife gets off at 11:30, so he can be typical fare around here.  Well recommended, as he always seemed slightly naughty ever since Drew Carey's show.

Ooh!  Did you see the Ferguson show when he had Ringo Starr's band on? 
Now, I take this as gospel, because my wife made a big thing about me falling asleep and missing it.  Ringo was on the show with his band, they talked about 5 minutes, then Craig sez like 'Pardon me, but I've never had this chance before, so please sit back and enjoy the show.'
And the rest of the hour was Ringo's band and Craig Ferguson cackling and dancing about.

Can you confirm this Scott, and did you perhaps keep a copy of that show?  Hmmmm?

I'll have to find the detail now for that show....

Thanks for the tip!

Regards,

Craig's great - I've enjoyed his work since he was Drew Carey's boss. 

[yooper]

Yup, I enjoy him and think he is much more entertaining than most late night talk show hosts.  Conan O'Brien taking over The Tonight Show does nothing for me, but then again, neither does Leno.  Now put Ferguson in The Tonight Show spot and I think we would have a winner.

I hope I eventually warm up to Conan O'Brien, but I have my doubts.

I think thats about the whole show that evening, minus his intro and monologue.


Hey yooper, I'm in the same camp as you. I don't think I'll ever warm up to Conan either. Theres just something about him that bugs me. We used to be Letterman watchers. The operative words are used to be.

Conan was our guy until Ferguson got his show. He is hilarious.

[zybar]

Craig is incredibly funny and entertaining and my wife and I love watching him.

I highly recommend that you give him a chance - much better than Leno or Conan (even Dave).

Craig Ferguson just got married again! What's that all about?

[batmanslc2]

I love his show, I agree better than the rest by far.  Makes me truly laugh out loud.
Never watch Conan. 

[low.pfile]

I watch it most nights-good fun. I always appreciate British/EU humour not sure why being a plain old american. Last night I  saw that he got married-but I think that was a rerun. that is a surprise given all of his jokes about his previous marriage(s)
