Show Summary

  • Returning Series
On January 3, 2005, Craig Ferguson became the newest face in late night television. That's when he took over The Late Late Show. Ferguson was selected from a number of guest hosts after previous host Craig Kilborn stepped down in August 2004. Many people might recognize Craig as "Nigel Wick", Drew Carey's boss from The Drew Carey Show.''''The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson follows the traditional "late night talk show formula", which includes the host coming out from backstage and talking to the audience for a few minutes, then sits down at his desk, interviews a couple guests, and brings on an occasional stand-up comedian or musical talent to perform.''''The Late Late Show airs Monday-Friday at 12:35 am on CBS, following The Late Show with David Letterman.''''Theme Song:''It's Hard to Stay Up''It's Been a Long, Long Day and You Got the Sandman at the Door''But Hang On, Leave the TV On and Let's Do It Anyway''It's OK, You Can Always Sleep Through Work Tomorrow, OK?''Hey Hey''Tomorrow's Just a Future Yesterday''''Performed by Craig Fergusonmoreless

  • His personality keeps you; there is never a dull moment.

    "Perfect"
    By MonarC87, Jan 23, 2012 Report Abuse
    This must be the best late night show I have seen. Its humor really works for me and every little bit of him is entertaining, which is the reason I watch, though he has fine guests for the most part. It's perhaps my current most favorite program, at least until Avatar restarts; hey, I'm eternally twelve! It would be my dream to see Ms. Mariah chat with Craig; two of my favorite personalities. Also, I would like to add that Craig is a sexy beast and Mariah is a fox! Thank God for some reason I am up untill the wee hours of the morning, so his air time suits my cycle, though I would like him to have a finer time, just for the sake that it would be more available for others, because so many are a missing out on this, and that is so typical.moreless

    Craig Ferguson brings out the best in his guests. You get the sense that you've really gotten a glimpse of the real person! What a quick wit he has! It's the only show on TV I never want to miss.

  • When Craig Ferguson was selected over Michael Ian Black to host the "Late, Late Show," David Letterman must have been concerned about not being as hip or smooth as Black. Ferguson will never be able to replace Dave during the 11:30pm time slot.moreless

    "Abysmal"
    By scace369, Nov 09, 2011 Report Abuse
    I will never be able to get over Craig Ferguson being made the permanent host for "The Late, Late Show." CBS had everyone watching with anticipation a parade of talented and untalented attempt to put on a show which could follow David Letterman.

    Michael Ian Black had to have been a top contender for the spot because he was invited back several times prior to the decision being made. How Ferguson's rank amateurish antics won over Black is beyond me. I hope that it wasn't primarily Letterman's decision!

    Both Ferguson and O'Brien, more often than not, begin their show with pathetically. At least O'Brien gets better once he sits behind the desk. Ferguson is crass from start to finish. When judged against the smoothness of a Carson Daly, one has to wonder just how long CBS will continue to maintain such an exercise in poor judgment.

    I really enjoyed the show this week. It was a refreshing change from the inside studio. A tour of Paris, and the people was really an ingenius idea. More shows like this should be done during the summer months. It gives the illusion that you are their with him. what a wonderful use of funds. Craig and crew are awesome.

    He's not a famous celebrity, but he's certainly making a name for himself with his new hit show. He's gonna be the big new face of Late Night TV. Craig interjects creative, clever, and sometimes very dumb humor that you'll love every second of.

    Puppets, songs, skits, emails, and the best monologue on TV (more of a rant then it is a monologue to be honest). Craig is the only late night show I watch, with good reason.

    I just have to say that I hope that he doesn't move to take over The Late Show if David Letterman retires, because I think he thrives on self pity and the low budget show, and it's good because he does his own little thing. His show has the most unique feel to it, and I think it's also the most welcoming and fun late night show on tvmoreless
