Courting Craig Ferguson: The Late Late Show Diaries 11-1-2005
Published November 03, 2005
Bartiromo was gracefully tactful in her answers.
She's an absolute doll! I don't know what prompted you to have her on your show, Craig, but what a delight she was. Pretty, intelligent, and funny. I think that's a testament to you more than anything. You bring out the good qualities in your guests.
"Welcome back. my strangely attractive pizza delivery boys?" Honey, we need to talk. Maybe it's all those actors-in-waiting up in Hollywood that made you say that. All I know is that the majority of pizza delivery boys in my neighborhood look as though they could use a comb and a toothbrush as well as a few extra years before they become legal. Okay, sure. I've seen the occasional hottie toting pizza, but that doesn't happen all that often in these parts. Of town. Of TOWN! Not my parts. Fine. My parts would like that too. One who looks like you or Clint Black. Oh, never mind. I really should digress so much.
Last guest: Jamie Kaler, comedian. Funny guy, although I lost my train of thought and kept thinking of you in a pizza boy outfit. he talked about being in the Navy, waking up too early, and thinking that maybe that's why we get into so many wars. The bits about why his dad thought he was gay were pretty good, too. Perhaps I would have paid closer attention if not for the whole pizza thing. Shame on you. Shame on me. But mostly shame on you.
All too soon, the Cow of Time mooed and ended our evening together. Until tomorrow!
Your cheeky wee monkey and saucy little minx,
Joanie
Expand your comedy horizons, 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 father was a sailor and her mother was a hamster. Maybe not a hamster, but, well...

Thank you. About the CDs, I'm still rather bitter over the loss. I live for my music, you know? But, the thing is, when you have the right CDs, the right beverage, and the right travel companion, road trips can be fun!

Ah, Craig in a pizza boy outfit. That's really funny! I'm laughing so hard right now, and it's going to be extremly tough to watch the show tonight without thinking about that.
Thanks once again for the great blogs, and I bow down to your wonderful word play. (The tie in with the CD's and cup holder was particuarly inspired.) :)
