Nathan Fielder, star of Comedy Central's excellent new show Nathan for You, made his late night talk show debut last night on Craig Ferguson. Like most first time late night guests, he accidentally spilled a cup of water in his lap. These things take practice.
Alison Brie was "sick" so she couldn't make it to her appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Her Community co-star Gillian Jacobs filled in, but somebody should probably check on Alison Brie to make sure she's not strung up in TV appearance-hungry Gillian Jacobs's attic or something.
CBS's Late Late Show is doing a post-Super Bowl show after the game on February 3rd, and some big names are set to join host Craig Ferguson for what's being dubbed The Craig Ferguson Super Bowl Special. TV Line reports that the show will be heading to New Orleans, visiting Jackson Square (the Super Bowl location), Bourbon Street, the Tremé District, and other local spots for segments and that Craig Ferguson's guests will be Steve Carell (promoting his movie The Incredible Burt Wonderstone), Neil Patrick Harris, footballer player Drew Brees, Big Brother host Julie Chen, and Twilight actress Nikki Reed. This is Ferguson's second post-Super Bowl special after hosting one when [...]
Jay Leno is something of a pariah in the late night world these days, having pissed off or screwed over fellow hosts like David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, and Jimmy Kimmel, but Leno is set to appear on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson at the end of the month. Late Late Show is produced by Leno’s longtime rival David Letterman, via his company Worldwide Pants, and airs on Leno’s rival network, CBS. Craig Ferguson, who stayed out of the Late Night Wars this last go-around and doesn’t seem to detest/fear Leno like his peers, appeared on The Tonight Show last year to promote the Winnie the Pooh [...]
Craig Ferguson is in Scotland this week, hosting his show and doing Scottish things with celebrities that look out of place. The result is Craig sitting shoeless (don't get your hopes up, foot fetishists, only he is barefoot) with Rashida Jones on a particularly scenic beach. They talk about smelly flamingos and vacations and Scotland. One thing is clear, do not compare anything to sausage around Rash-Jo, or she'll get mighty pissed, like a hot flamingo.
All the late night hosts addressed the Boston tragedy on their shows last night, but Craig Ferguson discussed the day's horrific events in a particularly heartfelt and compelling way. Full video of the opening to his show is embedded above.
Craig Ferguson, host of CBS's The Late Late Show announced via Twitter last week that he'll be releasing a new hour-long stand-up special on Netflix later this month. Called Craig Ferguson: I'm Here to Help, this is his third stand-up special, following two that debuted on Comedy Central, 2011's Does This Need to Be Said? and 2009's A Wee Bit o' Revolution. I'm Here to Help makes its Netflix debut on March 15th, continuing the trend of comedians releasing specials straight to the streaming service. It's pretty impressive that Craig Ferguson is the only late night host who releases his own stand-up specials and that he's been able to put out [...]
Here's Girls star and creator Lena Dunham on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson last night, with Ferguson comforting Dunham a lot and explaining the ins and outs of showbiz to her. The most important thing we learn is that Lena Dunham doesn't have the power to decide when the commercial breaks go on a late night show.
Time-lapses are the best lapses, better than lapses of judgment and lapse around a track (sorry). Ferguson had long complained about his old, small studio, which, if you remember, recently lost power in the middle of a show. Best thing about this new stage: there's a permanent live-in Regis:
Shit is getting real on late night, people! First it was David Letterman's death threats, now yesterday Craig Ferguson's anthrax scare had both real and sexy fireman alike in a dance-panic over an envelope of white powder received by the Late, Late Show. "I'll test it for you if you want!" Ferguson reassured the police officers who responded. "I have a special test that I conducted between 1979 to 1992!"
Two people were reportedly held at the studio around 3:00pm after being exposed to the substance, but luckily a hazardous materials team determined that it was benign, meaning Craig was then free to go riff-crazy. "My first [...]
Zach Braff went on Craig Ferguson last week to promote Oz, The Great and Powerful, and it was apparently the first time they'd seen each other in 25 years. Back in 1989, the two starred in High, a failed CBS pilot for a high school drama series that also starred Gwyneth Paltrow and Dana Barron from the first Vacation movie. Braff was 14 at the time, and it was his first acting job. Braff and Ferguson should reunite in another 25 years and talk about this talk show appearance then.
Welcome to the latest installment of Tragedy Plus Time. Each segment will focus on a particular ‘life crisis’ — sometimes globally tragic, sometimes more of a personal affair — and we’ll explore how many of the comedians we know and love have dealt with it.
Though no one has proved it scientifically, there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence to support the connection between creative types and recreational drug use. Whether it’s an openness to new experiences, a desire to numb the pain, or just the absence of a reason to get up early the next morning, many artists find themselves indulging at some point in their life. What starts as [...]
Tenacious D appeared on Craig Ferguson last night to promote their new jazz album, entitled Jazz, a limited edition vinyl-only release. They perform a truncated version of the album's only track, "Simply Jazz," which Ferguson points out runs 11 minutes and 36 seconds on the record. On the close-up of the album sleeve, you can see that "Simply Jazz" is listed under Side A and "Nothing on Side B" is listed under Side B. Jack Black ends up being a competent smooth jazz singer, showing off his well-known scatting abilities, while Kyle Gass knocks it out of the park with some grade-A jazz flutin'.
Have you heard of this new thing? They're called "late night talk shows" and they're sweeping the nation – all the kids'… parents are watching them. Craig Ferguson took a couple minutes, and probably one minute more than he was supposed to, to address his insecurities over the return of Arsenio Hall. He can't "woof" like the Ars – no one can. What he can do, however, is talk to Steve Carell about getting cameras jammed up their butts – show business! Watch that clip after the jump:
