Craig Ferguson Tickets Information

Craig Ferguson
Craig Ferguson is a Scottish comedian, actor, writer and talk show host. He is the current host of CBS's The Late Late Show, a role which earned him an Emmy nomination in 2006.

Early career
Ferguson's experience in entertainment began as a drummer in a little-known punk band called The Bastards from Hell. The band, later known as Dreamboys, performed regularly in Glasgow in 1980-1982.

Ferguson got his start as a comedian in the United Kingdom, appearing on the alternative comedy circuit under the stage-name "Bing Hitler". A recording of his stage act as Bing Hitler was made at Glasgow's Tron Theatre and released in the 1980s. In addition, a Bing Hitler monologue appears on the compilation cassette Honey at the Core.

Ferguson toured the UK during the late 80's under his own name as a support act to Harry Enfield. Ferguson moved to Los Angeles in 1994. His first U.S. role was as baker Logan McDonough on the short-lived 1995 ABC comedy Maybe This Time.

His breakthrough in the U.S. came when he was cast as Nigel Wick, Drew Carey's boss on The Drew Carey Show, from 1996 to 2003.

Late Late Show
In December 2004, it was announced that Ferguson would be the successor to Craig Kilborn on CBS's The Late Late Show. His first show as the regular host aired on 4 January 2005. The Late Late Show averaged 2.0 million viewers in its 2007 season, compared with 2.5 million for Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Initially, Ferguson opened the shows with a scripted monologue, as done on most late night talk shows. Later, Ferguson began improvising his monologues. The monologues often include self-deprecating jokes about his past experience with alcoholism, his two divorces, and his late night time slot. He also calls his audience various nicknames such as "frisky little badgers" or "cheeky monkeys". The monologue is usually followed by various comedy routines done from his desk, such as checking his voice mail, writing a letter, and reading viewer e-mail.

The Late Late Show often includes a celebrity impersonation sketch, where Ferguson lampoons Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Larry King, Mick Jagger, Dr. Phil, Simon Cowell, J.K. Rowling, and Prince Charles.

Bob Barker
Ferguson's show is taped in the same building as The Price Is Right, formerly hosted by Bob Barker. On 14 July 2006, Barker, announcer Rich Fields, and some of Barker's Beauties appeared on the Late Late Show. During the show, Barker claimed he'd heard that Craig said very nice things about him, and went on to make fun of the value of Craig's desk, pricing it at $9 before breaking it with a karate chop. The Price Is Right beauties then proceeded to "finish it off" with claw hammers. Barker later made a guest appearance on The Late Late show and presented Ferguson with a portrait of himself, complete with vampire fangs for the new set.Barker appeared on Ferguson's show to talk about his retirement this year after 35 years as host of The Price Is Right.

Personal life
Ferguson was born in Glasgow to Robert and Janet Ferguson, and raised in nearby Cumber auld.

His first visit to the United States was as a teen; later, he lived in New York City, where he worked in construction in Harlem and according to Ferguson "used to be a bouncer at a cool club in New York called 'Save the Robots'. That was the name of the club. I was the bouncer the first couple of weeks. I got fired. I was power crazed. I was acting like a gatekeeper from the Lord of the Rings".

Ferguson has two sisters and one older brother. His sister Lynn is a successful comedian, presenter and actress. His brother Scott worked for STV.

A recovering alcoholic, Ferguson has been sober since 1992. He said he had considered committing suicide on Christmas Day, but when offered a drink for celebrating the holiday, he forgot to jump off a bridge like he had planned to.
