Ferguson also talks frankly about his drug and alcohol abuse and speaks fondly of the time he spent in rehab for his alcoholism. The other drug-users sort of looked up to Ferguson as "only an alcoholic" since they had more detrimental addictions to get over. So he always had fun messing with their heads.
And he talks about auditioning for a part on Suddenly Susan with Brooke Shields and then finding work on The Drew Carey Show as the insane English boss. For me, that's one of his more memorable roles. But now that I've seen his stand-up routine, I may have to see if he's playing anywhere near me anytime soon.
In addition to his stand-up routine, there are also two extras. His Interview was hilarious, but I was fascinated by his Speech at Faneuil Hall on July 4, 2008. It's always interesting to me to see how people who weren't born here really become the true patriots for our country when they become citizens. Ferguson speaks eloquently and with humor about what he loves about the United States.
Ferguson is hilarious and it's hard for me not to laugh with his self-deprecating humor. He really lays it out on the line for the audience and points out where he thinks his own life is funny. I have to respect that.
So be sure to check out Craig Ferguson: A Wee Bit o' Revolution to see what they bleeped out on national television.

I must say I like this review, I objected to an earlier one. This guy know his stuff, Craig is a comic genius. He had a quick mind and doing his monologue five nights a week with only a few bullet points.
Other Late night host are okay but when you see thm reading off of cards, or reading every word off the teleprompter. Craig can use a few words and a facial expression an get more laughs than those other guys.
I would suggest that Fitz get a Tivo. I have three and all my favorites programs get recorded No rush to view them, or take them off the Tivo onto a DVD. Some of them get deleted but Mr. Ferguson's show is always recorded IF it is a first run. I have so many I really need to take some off the Tivo.
