A bit self indulgent yet funny in his own weird world... ...Continue »
I like watching Craig, he doesnt seem to do well with people on his show, he seems a bit self indulgent with his comedy, not really a people person IMHO... Reminds me of a talented version of Regis Philbin...LOL he has a great art of Gab...I think he is better than Cohen, and should soon overtake him in ratings... ... ... I used to watch Cohen, he got a bit stale and lack luster and a nightly repeat.. ... ... ... ... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Great comedian, keeps me laughing,interviews of his guests are great, he`s one of a kind , a must watch tv host.I watch Craig every night and no two nights are the same . He creates characters like " prince Charles of england" doing late night skiff like Prince Charles chatting about Camilla in a very humorous way or he will be the elevator man in "elevator confessions". He loves Sean Connery and can do a routine doing Micheal Caine talking to Sean Connery . You must watch the Late Late show to appreciate the work of this genius comedian, writer, Craig Fergusen.

This man is funny. His opening monologue every day on his show is excellent every time. My one problem with him however, is that if you watch his show every day, he does tend to be very repetetive, he will reuse jokes over and over.

He lacks the sophistication of his former counterparts like Steven Fry and Hugh Laurie but has a charm of his own. His sense of humour is less subtle. His Scottishness plays well for him although less jokes about the British (especially the English) wouldn't go amis.

I do however like him and his show is better than his main rivals such as Leno and DeGeneres.

I've been watching Late late show for a while now, and I can say that Craig Ferguson is my favourite talk show host: he has charisma, sense of humour, great facial mimic, and above all that scottish accent...
I really like his monologues, the way he interacts with the audience ("Stick with me kids!") and conducts interviews.
I discovered that he had a small role in "Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events", one of my favourite movies...I hope he will get some major role since I'm very curious to see him in action as an actor.
It's a real shame that we can't see his show here in Italy (there's only Letterman's) because I'm quite sure it would have a lot of public. Go Craig, you kick ass!
