TV's Craig Ferguson
Hello, my lovelies!
I'm addicted to Craig Ferguson.
Remember him? Mr. Wick, the sleazy boss from The Drew Carey Show?
"He is best known in the U.S. for his role on The Drew Carey Show, where he played Nigel Wick, Drew Carey's boss.
Of his over-the-top English accent on the series, Ferguson noted that plenty of English actors had used bad Scottish accents in the past, so it was time for a Scottish actor to use a bad English accent." (Wikipedia)
I couldn't stand him in that actually, but I'm loving him as a late night talk show host. No stupid band (he sings - and wrote - the happy, bouncy opening song himself,) and the man actually knows how to do a monologue, not just string a bunch of one-liners together.
"Ferguson's first show aired on January 4, 2005, with reasonably successful results since then. Initially, Ferguson opened each show with a scripted monologue and prepared jokes, as done on most late night talk shows. However, as the show progressed, Ferguson (who introduces himself as "TV's Craig Ferguson") began improvising, to the point of using only an outline one year later." (Wikipedia)
Wonderful Scottish accent, great sense of humor, and is perfectly able to talk to a guest without sounding like he's interviewing off the staff-prepared talking points.
"While appearing on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (1993), he had host Conan O'Brien laughing so hard that he couldn't continue with his show and Craig ended up doing all the talking." (IMDB)
Ferguson now garners more than 2 million viewers nightly, and has been steadily gaining on Conan O'Brien. He was nominated for an Emmy in 2006, largely due to the strength of his monologues, especially one paying tribute to his father the day after he died.
No stranger to controversy, Craig at one time used the stage name, "Bing Hitler". He royally pissed off the entire city of Toronto by joking that he'd rather stay on a crashing plane than get off in Toronto. He stopped wearing a tie on the air, (horrors!) to CBS' great consternation, and laughs that he makes up news just like Fox News does.
His show's on right after Letterman. ::sob:: He does wear a tie these days - quite a wayward tie, if truth be told - but don't dare suggest he wear a tie tack!
Dump Leno, Letterman, the guy that whines about his golf game, and that red-headed idiot, whatever his name is... give me Craig Ferguson for late night tv!

I'm still trying to figure out how calling him a "former punk drunk" would be considered flattering. And, uh... don't they mean "salvation", rather than "salvage"?Late Late Show Highlights

The Ferguson Theory
Supermodels
From TV.com:
Premiered:January 24, 1994
Last Aired:February 24, 1994
Show Categories:Variety Shows, Comedy
The Ferguson Theory was first screened by BBC in 1993 and starred Scottish comedian Craig Ferguson. The show blended his stand-up act with filmed sketches, usually about something that was bothering him. These formed the bulk of the shows, as the sketches were very short, most of them satirising advertisements or dramatising simple two-line gags.

Between the Bridge and the River
From Publishers Weekly: A gallery of grotesques slogs through the sewers of the entertainment industry toward redemption in this exhilarating debut novel from the host of The Late Late Show. Leading the pack are Fraser, a Scottish "phony TV evangelist... drunken, selfish media prick... gossip and sot" who has been disgraced in a sex scandal; his cancer-stricken boyhood pal, George; vapid sit-com star Leon; and Leon's 300-pound, sexually perverted Svengali brother, Saul....
Saving Grace [VHS]
Imagine a Cheech and Chong pothead comedy, only instead of two scruffy lowlifes, the movie is about an aimless Scottish gardener and a middle-aged British widow with a green thumb. Grace has just discovered that her recently deceased husband has left her with an enormous debt when her gardener Matthew asks her to help him tend to his small, personal-use marijuana crop.
The Big Tease
A British camera crew follows Crawford Mackenzie (Craig Ferguson), a Scottish hairstylist, as he travels to Los Angeles to take part in the Platinum Scissors Competition, put on by the World Hairdressing International Federation. Unfortunately, it turns out that Crawford misread the invitation, which was only to be in the audience. But he refuses to let that stop him, and works his way through the L.A. social world. In the process, he befriends Sean Connery's agent (Frances Fisher), who helps him finally get a chance to show the world his hairstyling genius.
I'll Be There
This low-key, thoroughly delightful comedy is the product of Scottish comic/actor/writer/director Craig Ferguson's goofy and sweet imagination. Ferguson plays retired rock star Paul Kerr, a 1980s sensation whose whiskey-fueled antics in a Welsh mansion land him, involuntarily, in a psychiatric hospital. In short order, an old bandmate (Ralph Brown) turns up to help Paul get sober, and a long-lost love (Jemma Redgrave) introduces the mortified musician to an adolescent daughter (Charlotte Church) he never knew he had.

Latest: Interview with Television Critics Association

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (AP) - The Craig Ferguson-Jimmy Fallon late-night competition appears to be starting on a gracious note.
At a meeting Wednesday of the Television Critics Association, Ferguson suggested that reviewers wait to sharpen their pens until Fallon adjusts to the new job. Fallon is expected to take over "Late Night" in March.
"I challenge you all to this: Give Jimmy a month before you review him," Ferguson told the group.
He questioned whether any critics thought he would last as host of CBS' "Late Late Show," which he took over four years ago. And he suggested Fallon, a former "Saturday Night Live" cast member, may be finding the late-night spotlight less comfortable.
There's been a bit of unfair negative buzz about Fallon before he's even started, Ferguson said.
Fallon is "kind of like the reverse Barack Obama. It's like he hasn't done anything yet, but everybody is commenting on his performance," Ferguson said. "Give him a chance." - more.

No longer just an honorary citizen
"Ferguson is in the process of becoming a US citizen.
On the Tuesday, January 22, 2008 airing of The Late Late Show, Ferguson announced that he was scheduled to take his citizenship test on Friday, January 25, 2008." - Wikipedia
"CHESTER - "Late, Late Show" host Craig Ferguson is expected to soon become a citizen of the United States and a voting resident of the small town of Chester.
The talk-show host, who reportedly owns a farm in Chester, thinks so much of his new home-away-from-L.A.-home that he has named his production company Green Mountain West Inc.
According to a 2006 story in the show business publication Variety, Ferguson named his production company after Vermont because he spends most of his free time here." - Rutland Herald

Craig Ferguson at a Glance
That's "TV's Craig Ferguson" to you!
Craig Ferguson (born May 17, 1962) is a television host, stand-up comedian, writer, and actor. He is the host of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, an Emmy Award-nominated late-night talk show that airs on CBS. In addition to hosting that program and performing stand-up comedy, he has written two books: Between the Bridge and the River, a novel, and American on Purpose, an autobiography. Ferguson was born and raised in Scotland and first became known as a stand-up comedian in the United Kingdom. He now also holds U.S. citizenship.
Before his career as a late-night television host, Ferguson was best known in the United States for his role as the office boss, Nigel Wick, on The Drew Carey Show from 1996 to 2003. After that, he wrote and appeared in three films, in one of which he starred.
White House Correspondent's Dinner
Craig Ferguson will headline at the annual dinner on April 26th.
"Craig Ferguson is a fresh take on late night TV. As a new citizen, a first time uncommitted voter, and someone who has looked at American politics from the outside, I am looking forward to his unique take on
our system," Ann said.
Mr. Ferguson announced it like this, "But I thought as soon as I become an American you know what is going to happen, I am going to get jury duty or the C.I.A. will get in touch and have me assassinate a foreign head of state. Anyway my first job as an American citizen I can exclusively reveal tonight is performing at the White House Correspondents Dinner weekend. I am doing it. I am doing it. I know! We can get that fixed. Anyway, I am not hosting it. President Bush was. It is a big fancy party in D.C. it is like the Oscars for politicians. There are 2,800 journalists in attendance, congress, military brass, cabinet. I sit at the top table with the President and First Lady right there. I am thinking does he know I can't be kicked out now? Like it would be the big thing have the dinner and my last act at President, you go home Ferguson. I am like I am home."

Vulgar Lounge Entertainer?
Comedian, comedic truffle pig, vulgar lounge entertainer? Remind you of anyone? Check out this short excerpt from a recent interview, then go read the whole thing. Includes info on how his monolog is done!
Of course, all he had to do was read Variety to know that. It reported Tuesday that the future of both Worldwide Pants-owned shows was being hashed out on the East Coast by Worldwide Pants exec (and WGA-East member) Rob Burnett.
"If Dave's going back, then I'm going back," said Ferguson. "Dave's my boss, I don't know if you know that. The day Dave goes back is the day I go back."

Tom Cruise is scaring people again...
This funny column appeared in the Washington Post. Pictured, Craig Ferguson as Tom Cruise.Don't miss the original video - hosted (for now anyway) on Gawker.com.
"Mom! Tom Cruise is scaring people again!
It's on the Internet, this promotional video he did for the Church of Scientology. I guess it's out there because of this new book by Andrew Morton, "Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography." It was on several sites, but then disappeared on some and reappeared on others. Gawker.com posted a cease-and-desist letter it said was sent by attorneys representing the church. The letter, according to the site, says the "copyrighted" video was stolen from the church, and demands that it be taken down.
In the video, still posted yesterday on Gawker, The Tom is wearing a black turtleneck and talking to an interviewer just off camera -- for nine minutes! -- about how he wants to help and how he's met with "leaders" all over the world and how they want his help, and how Scientology is "wild and woolly" and how he doesn't like people sitting on the sidelines of life, and how he's "canceled that in my area." And he keeps laughing really LOUD and it really doesn't make any sense and he keeps showing all his teeth and barely blinking and I got really scared but I watched the whole thing even if I didn't want to, and now I can't sleep without the light on..."

Or is it?
Interview with the St. Petersberg Times, in which Craig hints he might leave The Late Late Show at the end of his six year contract:"Turns out, the Glasgow-born entertainer has figured out one thing he doesn't like about his job. He can't stand being famous.
"I just don't know if I like being that visible," he said. "I don't know if I would want to ramp that up any more, you know. And people here find that, I think, quite difficult to (understand)."
The article goes on....
"Clearly, the industry is watching. Last year, Ferguson earned an Emmy nomination - which became a well-worn gag when he lost to Barry Manilow* - and stars such as Rescue Me creator Denis Leary admit recording the show just to watch his opening patter.
Let others trade gossip on whether Saturday Night Live alum Jimmy Fallon will get Conan O'Brien's 12:30 a.m. gig (Conan's scheduled to take the 11:30 p.m. slot when Leno retires in 2009.) Ferguson is quietly setting his own standard, building a loyal audience along the way."
*Note that Barry Manilow is scheduled to be on the show this Thursday night, 11/1.
On that stupid format change that broke his monolog into two parts, and luckily only lasted 4 days:
"The only time Ferguson nearly lost his audience's devotion: when he went along with a test to divide his precious monologue with a commercial break, helping the program's ratings but incensing longtime fans.
"We lasted four days. . . . The reaction was resounding," said Ferguson, who saw e-mails and telephone calls pile up the morning after the experiment started. "When people get p---- at something I say, I pay very little attention to that because, you know, you can't do a show like this every night and not offend somebody. But with something like a format change, I think that belongs as much to the audience as it does to me.""

Talk Show Host, or Comedic Truffle Pig?
Why not both? This is exactly what makes him more interesting than the other late night hosts. In particular, watch how he really listens to his guests, and has a real conversation with them, he doesn't just interview them.
What a great quote in this article:"Even when the guest is shambling along, Ferguson is furiously digging around them for comic material with the joy and accuracy of a truffle pig.
... Somehow, Ferguson has got around the "tell a joke" model and creates the impression that everyone in the studio is already party to a joke in progress. In the process he creates an irresistible bonhomie. No need to get the party started. It is already well under way the moment Ferguson starts talking. He insinuates a co-conspiracy and we the audience, go, "well, ok, fine, you're on." The on-air relationship is, in the words of our favorite linguist, Michael Silverstein, maximally presupposing. It assumes what other comedians must labor to create."

- I had the pleasure of seeing his live stand up show. We drove two hours to get there and it was worth every minute. In fact everyone at the local watering hole waiting for the show to begin was as excited as me. Once I got to my seat at the lovely "State Theatre" in Easton(?) PA, I wasn't even tempted to go out for a smoke and I don't even do that for my job.
All I can say is if you have the chance, go for it.
Good luck to you.

- Finally! Somewhere I can write exactly what I think of Craig Ferguson.
I live in Australia, so I did not get the chance to see Craig's show, but about a month ago I started catching on the Craig mania through youtube. He has GOT to be, the most genuine and hands down FUNNIEST guy on TV (not to mention how SEXY his scottish accent is). WHY, Leno, Letterman, Kimmel or even O'brien get more ratings than him is something I will never understand.
His honest and self deprocating humour is just a treat to watch. His monologues are just so refreshing and hilarious. On their own, quite good, but when compared to Craig, the other talk shows are just a drab to watch honestly. A writer, director, actor, author, comedian, talkshow host. Is there ANYTHING this guy cannot do?
Hopefully the rest of the world starts falling in love with him as I did, and starts acknowledging that Craig is pure and GENUINE comedic value.
PS. If not apparent already, yes i am a HUGE fan of Craig
Writer's Strike News:
Most of television's late-night shows are scheduled to return to the air that night after being off for two months due to the strike, but it is likely that only Mr. Letterman, and the show that follows him on CBS hosted by Craig Ferguson, will be supported by material from writers. - New York Times
12/20/07 - Worldwide Pants and the WGA will meet Friday to discuss an interim agreement that would get "Late Show With David Letterman" and "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson" back on the air when its rivals return Jan. 2.
Worldwide Pants owns both shows, which air on CBS. It was the first company to jump at the chance to negotiate a separate deal with the WGA when it said it would turn to that strategy after talks with the AMPTP collapsed Dec. 7. But it took almost a week, and a very public appeal from Worldwide Pants through the media, to get the writers to sit down.
The guild's negotiating committee met Wednesday, approving the meeting with Worldwide Pants. - Hollywood Reporter
12/18/07 - After being off the air for two months in support of their union and their writers, NBC's late-night hosts are going back to work in 2008.
The network announced Monday that both "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" and "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" will return with new episodes on Jan. 2. Both shows have been dark since the writers strike began in early November as Leno and O'Brien supported the Writers Guild of America (both are members of the union).
Both men made it clear that they continue to support the WGA, but in statements they expressed concern for the rest of their shows' staffs. O'Brien and Leno have been paying staff salaries for several weeks, but continuing that indefinitely wouldn't have been possible. - Mercury News

NEW YORK -- Strike or not, employees of "The Late Show with David Letterman" and the "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" will be paid through the end of the year.
The programs' production company, Worldwide Pants Inc., notified its employees in New York and Los Angeles on Tuesday that they would be paid regardless of whether the show returned or not. It would make Worldwide Pants, which is owned by "Late Show" host David Letterman, the first known company to guarantee its staff a paycheck during the writers' strike." - Hollywood Reporter
"The late night shows were the first victims of the strike, going dark on its first day, Monday, November 5. Since then, there has been much speculation about which show would be the first to return. In '88 it was Johnny Carson who led the way, reluctantly returning to his seat sans writers after a month. Some have said that Letterman, having been on the air the longest will set the tone, while others have said that it will be one of the newer shows that will try to capitalize on the reduced amount of competition. Well, if MySpace is to be believed, Craig Ferguson could be the first host to resume his place at the desk." - Source: Cinema Blend
