Courting Craig Ferguson: The Late Late Show Diaries 10-31-2005
Published November 01, 2005
Funny that, eh? Guess what I found online?
Craig Ferguson: It doesn't seem that long ago that the actor was making folks laugh on The Drew Carey Show in the role of Nigel Wick. Maybe that's because the series airs in syndication mode and he hosts The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS weeknights after David Letterman says goodnight to his fans. Ferguson can add the title Awards Show host to his work history. CBS announced yesterday that the Scottish comedian will host the The 32nd Annual People's Choice Awards when the entertainment special airs live on Tuesday, January 10 from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
I don't make this stuff up, I just report it.
Finally, the show ended up with a spirited (get it? Halloween show...spirited?) performance from Franz Ferdinand. They performed their song "Do You Want To", which was reminiscent of the music I listened to back in high school, way, way, way back in the early 80s. I liked it. Who knew? Ah, well, apparently you did, Craig.
And so, another lovely evening together has come and gone. It was wonderful and refreshing, especially after a week+ without you.
Until tomorrow, my funny Valentine!
Your cheeky wee monkey and saucy little minx,
Joanie
For all your comedy needs, check out The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS, Monday-Friday, 12:30 AM, Pacific. If you can't stay up that late and/or refuse to record the show, you can always catch up on the monologues and skits on the LLS website.
About the author: Joan's fascination and adoration of Craig Ferguson is little more than silly fantasy, with a dash of lust, the likes of which are common amongst single 39 year-old women. She lives many miles safely south of Los Angeles and CBS Studios. Her home is currently haunted. Creaking staircases and spooky noises are everywhere. And, we won't even mention that her front door seems to be some awful portal to a world run by creepy little insects. Yikes!

Rhiannon, you lucky girl! You got your email read on TV. I'm a little envious.
I almost named my daughter Rhiannon. I took a wild guess and assumed it was spelled this way. I figured your folksare either Welsh or fans of Stevie Nicks. Or maybe even both.
Please email me at [joanhunt] at [gmail] dot [com]. I have a couple questions I'd like to ask.
Thanks, Joanie, for the humorous recap... especially since watching THIS show, in particular, was not easy!
I mean, Craig isn't OURS anymore, is he?
He's always had a breath-taking knack for including us in his life: who he is and what he does... are those days gone forever???
Don't know about anybody else but it makes ME kind of sad...
... but, hope he's happy.
i wouldnt be too sad debbie... he's been showing up with a random blonde lately. my guess is sharon's out of the picture. (besides she seems a little too wacko/high-maintenance for our dear craig)
I LOVE CRAIG FERGUSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HES MY SCOTTISH CHEEKY MONKEY SUPER HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for putting emails in this blog. I loved watching the show and hearing my name, and my only disappointment is that my VCR was broken that night. But thanks for spelling my name right!
