Back to Scrubs and John C. McGinley. I love Scrubs. I love McGinley. He's so vile and funny as Perry. His moments of tenderness are deftly played against his thuglike treatment of his interns. Perfection! Absolute perfection. Of course, at the end of the interview, you brought up John Ritter. I cried.

Too much death for me at a time when I'm a little too fragile and sensitive about such things.

Finally, The 88 played. Are they fun or what? I've been listening to their music for a few weeks and thinking about how much they remind me of Queen, mixed with the Kinks. Or something. All I know is that I felt better by the end of the night and that's what I needed.

Chalk up another win, Craiggles. You gave relief when you didn't know I'd need it. You gave me the opportunity to shed the tears I needed to cry, laugh when I needed to laugh, and made it all better with a song.

Thank you!

Your cheeky wee monkey and saucy little minx,

Joanie

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 Hunt adores Craig Ferguson and television. Without meaning to appear obsessed, she faithfully watches and records every episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Well, almost every episode. Sometimes she forgets to tape the show and/or falls asleep on the sofa where she dreams about kilts and sporrans. She lives many miles safely south of Los Angeles and CBS Studios. Her other love is photography. Someday she hopes to photograph many men in kilts. Many tall men. With accents. And TV shows. Okay, maybe just one tall man with an accent in a kilt. The man will be in the kilt, not the accent. Although, one could make the argument that if the man has an accent and is wearing a kilt...
