    just watching some youtube clips of this guy, very funny non american sense of humour, love his fish out of water mentality

    I cant believe I've never heard of him before, serious charisma!

    Good to see someone else in this country has actually heard of the guy. Funny and intelligent - this was one of the best accounts of being an addict I've ever seen:

    Craig is an American Citizen now, but he is still 100% Scottish. He has done very well for himself over there.

    Funniest of the US Talk Shows in my opinion, I wish one of the UK stations would pick it up.

    TV3 should try to pick it up...

    ...and broadcast it at 9:30 on Friday nights.

    Love the show but haven't kept up with it as much over the past year or so. Must get back into it.

    He usually has some fantastic new bands on aswell.

    I can't stand him, much prefer Leno. However my opinion is unfortunately in the minority.

    don't like his monologues but i occasionally type Craig Ferguson into youtube to watch his rambling interviews sometimes they don't work with the guest but he's comfortable with awkward pauses

    you could die happy watching him and kristen bell

    Being watching him for years. It's very much pot luck what you're going to get. good and bad nights. However, every once and awhile there's an show or an interview that's miles better than anything else on US talkshows. In fact given the state of talkshows on this side of the atlantic better than anything here.

    I've only seen clips of the show, but those I've seen were pretty good. I do remember him as Drew Carey's boss on the Drew Carey show from back in the 90's. He was great in that.

    Seen him a few times. In terms of the monologue I think Conan is probably better. But has been said already some of his interviews can be great. The best of a bad bunch to be fair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 362 ✭✭theone


    he's easily the funniest guy on tv,someone saying leno is better had to be joking

    can't watch conan monologue anymore, its weak, still okay with guest and great when interacting with real people, but he hardly seems to be on anymore, is it three days with interruptions often

    Conan strikes me a poor listener when talking to people, and tries to outdo them comedy wise.

    Ferguson - on the other hand - genuinely loves to sit back and listen to his guests, esp. when he has on TV legends like Van Dyke.

    I remember him from Drew Carey's sitcom

    I've not seen his talk show so can't comment on that. But as far as I'm concerned he'll always be "Confidence" from Red Dwarf to me. :)

    what channell is he on ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,706 ✭✭✭120_Minutes


    dont think he's on any normal tv channel over here.

    i like him, but dont watch him, although he was interviewed by stephen fry (of the other way around?) for something a while back which i enjoyed


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 15,721 Mod ✭✭✭✭dfx-


    Been watching him on youtube for a while, some great awkward pauses and mouth organs to finish off..

    Great one-to-one interview with no audience with Stephen Fry during some strike or other last year.
