Craig Ferguson sucks

Friday, July 29, 2005 at 12:56 am

That’s the only conclusion one can draw after watching even 5 minutes of the horrible… painful Late Late Show.
The guy is not funny. He looks and sounds like a good guy, but he’s boring. dull. not funny. Do yourself a favour, Craig, if you still want a carreer when the show is cancelled. Get out. Now. Before it’s too late. You suck. Reality check time. It’s painful man. Come on. Please.

edited by brem, to keep the blog safe of “offensive words”. Don’t worry, all typos and the spirit still remain.
what the h3ll do you know you f*cked up peice of sh*t? Craig Ferguson is one of the greatest late show hosts the world has ever seen! if you had 2 miligrams (i bet you don’t know how much that is you aszh*le) of a brain you would know that if there were more people like craig in the world it would be a better place! watching that scottish comedian is the high point of my day! you know what you f*cking punk, i bet your just mad because no one wants to be with a jackazz like you for more than five minutes. you know what else? i bet you couldn’t put on a decent comedy act yourself, so your taking it out on the comedy greats! let me geuss, you hate Chris Rock, you con’t stand Adam Sandler, watching Jay Leno pisses you off, and any humor makes you boil with hatred at yourself. well, i’ll just say one more thing. say anything bad about craig again, and i will kick your f*cking azs!

Thanks Nathaniel, for being my first “hatemail”. Whoo hoo! A blog is not really a blog until you get hatemail. Thank you wholeheartedly.

Now, on to your arguments.

What the hell do I know? I know that what I hear is not funny. He sucks. Now, if Craig is the high point of your day, we now all know how low your life is. Furthermore, with all the 4 letters words you are using in this laughable attempt at a commentary, one can only assume you are not very educated. I have a lot of friends, thank you very much, but I’m sure they’re not as cool as yours. I bet you all get high on every night and watch Craig. Yeah, stoned is probably the only way one could laugh at Craig’s pitiful jokes.

I’m no comedian. So no, I would never dare do comedy, but if you’re willing enough to have your own show, at least assume it. If you’re not funny, let someone else with talent do the job. Is all my saying.

Chris Rock is annoying, Adam Sandler too. Jay Leno is fine.

Ok. So in order to get my asz kicked again, I’ll say again and again.

You and Craig suck. You’re both lame. You both need a life.

I see I am not the only person to find Craig Ferguson boring and offensive. I was just being tortured by having to watch one minute of his show before I found the remote. I stay up late and every night I have to flip channels to get him out of my tv and my home. I decided to see if anyone else hates him, and found quite a few hits on the web. I keep asking why this guy is on tv. I am not a comedian, but I could be funnier than him, heck, even George Bush or Dick Cheney could be funnier. Craig Ferguson is just plain boring. I simply can not stand the guy. His show is a total waste of tv time and the electricity to keep it turned on. It’s not just his lack of humor, but also his accent which is irritating, but what bothers me the most is his perverted “fake” gay act. I read that he’s not really gay, just acts the part. I am not homophobic, nor homosexual. If anyone is gay, thats their business, but I do not appreciate Craig Ferguson’s attempt at acting like a faggot. (I used the word “faggot” because there is a big difference between someone that’s gay, and someone that “acts like a faggot”). Ferguson acts the part of a faggot, and that nauseates me. In summary, EVERYTHING about him turns me off. I hate the guy. Why does CBS keep him on the air? Does anyone like him? I surely dont see why anyone would. Come on CBS, quit torturing us….

I think that he has this smaltzy, dirty uncle quality about him. Some mostly women find appealing. THis tops it. He actually sat on a literary panel recently at UCLA and said that he was too old and too rich to care what anyone thought of him. Asshole, forget that Gaellic charm, he is an asshole.

Yeah, he is a bit boring…occasionally his bits can be fairly funny. I’ve watched him several times and sometimes boring as hell, but says some funny stuff occasionally…Just keep in mind, guys, that it takes quite a bit of reserve and discipline to even attempt a ‘monolouge’ as long as he does. But, he writes alot of his own material, or at least most of it, which is admirable. Yep, he probably is a rich, pompous ass, but I have to respect what he does, even if many times, he doesnt do it too well!!

I think Craig is funny and entertaining. I laugh a lot before I go to sleep whilst watching his show. For this I am grateful. I need to laugh before I sleep.

However, let’s face it; we’re all different. What’s one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. It doesn’t bother me in the least whether or not anyone likes or dislikes him. I’m just putting this in because I like the show.

I concur with Steph’s comment (accepting that it’s true) about Craig’s “too old too rich” comment. Arrogance doesn’t become anyone. However, I have to admit, I’ve had my own arrogant moments–just hopefully not in such a public venue.

I appreciate your blog.

Thanks Clutch. We obviously don’t share the same idea, but at least we can discuss our opinions in a civil manner. I don’t hate the man “Craig Ferguson”, but I really do not understand why he has his own show. That’s all ;).

Hey, I kind of agree with you. I used to like the show a lot, and then it got kind of boring. He can be brilliant, but sometimes he just relies too much on his looks (the side looks etc etc). Plus, I’m sick and tired and hearing him ask for an earlier time slot.

Why are you guys hating on Craig?! He is the best latenight talkshow host on the face of Earth! He is hilarious, cool, and most of all REAL. He gives a more light-hearted side of his alcoholism, and life struggles. He let’s the audience get to know him, hmmm… something the other latenight hosts don’t pleasure the audience with. His authenticity, humor, accent, and charming good looks got me from the start, I don’t know what show you guys watch, but if you are hatin’ on the man Craiger, something is wrong.

And to all you haterz, if you want to bash on my boy Craig, you will surely get your azzez kicked!

I used to love Craig, but lately he has become a jerk (could be because of his fame)
I used to send him e-mails and jokes and he would “thank” me or at least acknowledge
that he had received them…….now ………nothing.
The more I watch Craig, the more I see and in my opinion Craig is gay. So I am
weening myself off the Late Late Show and will switch to Conan O’Brien.

Those OF YOU WHO DON’T LIKE CRAIG NEED TO MOVE ON. WHY WRITE THIS JUNK? HE WON’T APPEAL TO SOME AND OTHERS WILL LOVE HIM LIKE I DO. WHY WRITE ABOUT HIM ON THIS BLOG IF YOU DON’T LIKE HIM. WRITE CBS. WRITE HIS BOSS WHO SITS AT A DESK NOW AND ACTS SENILE…NOT MUCH COMEDY COMING OUT OF HIM LATELY. DAVE IS THE MOST REPETITIOUS JERK TALK SHOW HOST THAT I KNOW. CRAIG DOES NEED TO PUT MORE OF HIS OWN COMEDY SKITS ON THE SHOW AS IN THE PAST. HE HAS GOTTEN A BIT LAZY LATELY RELYING ON OTHERS FOR THE HUMOR WHEN HE IS THE BEST ONE ON THE SHOW. HIS GEORGE BUSH INTERVIEWS ARE RIGHT ON WITH CURRENT EVENTS EMPHASIZED. HE TAPES DAILY AND IS FRESHER. DAVE TAPES THREE TIMES A WEEK AND IS SHORT ON IDEAS.
ANYWAY THIS IS MY TAKE. I AM 66 AND MANY OF CRAIG’S FANS ARE MIDDLE AGE WOMEN WHO FIND HIM SEXY AND HANDSOME. HE HAS QUITE A GROUPIE FOLLOWING.

I obviously found this blog because I wanted to see how many others are completely baffled that this man has his own show and it’s still running.

While Craig is a decent-looking guy with a small amount of charm, he is NOT funny. How many fucking times can you say, “Welcome back, my little (whatever)”, or do the stupid “dial-tone gag” adnauseum. He cracks himself up (see: Jimmy Fallon), and he thinks that his weird, cocky look into the camera is the funniest thing on TV. He comes across as very arrogant, yet unpolished, unschooled, the kind of guy who might be fine in a small club as the MC, introducing other comedians, but by NO means is a headline act.

I thought Kilborne was barely tolerable, but in comparison I would love to see him resume the spot.

Fergie’s interviewing skills are weak, he tries way too hard, over-exaggerates his mannerisms, looks, and….the ACCENT….OHG, can there be a more annoying dialect?

I have tried several times to sit through five minutes of his show, and I’m telling you, I cannot! Most often I hear him in the background, as I am a huge Letterman advocate, and afterwards, I leave the room to get on the PC, and hear Fergie in the background. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten up, went back in the TV room to go change the channel, just because it irritates me that much.

Congrats to all those who like him…to each his own, but I felt strongly enough about it to post my thoughts on this blog. Someone should send the blog to CBS.

Sorry Craig, NOT A FAN!!!

OK, now to find the “Leno sucks” blog…

I found this blog by an accident, just like I found Craig by an accident. I am Finnish and I live in Finland. Over here you can’t see the Late Late Show. Conan o’ Brien’s show comes on TV about a week late. (And now I apologize for my English. I hope you forgive my mistakes and still get my points).

First time I saw The Late Late Show was maybe a month ago when I accidentally stubled over it on youtube.com. I find Craig very funny and I truly enjoy watching the clips. I have never seen a whole show at once, but still my opinion is that he is much funnier than Conan, who I find arrogant.

But of course, as it already is said, we all have our own different likes and dislikes. But for sure I hope that we in Finland one day would be able to watch Craig Ferguson.

And by the way, someone here said he probably wants to be an actor: actually he is. Yesterday here came on TV a film he was in. It is called “The Soul Keeper” in English. And if you check out him on example IMDB you will notice that he has been in several films. (Most of them in my opinion only crap, but that doesn’t make him less an actor than other actors). And, that just proves to me that he should be a comedian, and that The Late Late Show is exactly where he should be at the moment.

I say thanks for beeing able to share my opinion, and greetings to everyone from Finland

I completely agree with you guys. Craig Ferguson is an idiotic moron. I do not understand why people think he’s funny. Max I can watch of him is 20 seconds, then I have to change the channel. I’m dead serious. 20 seconds… I timed myself.

Obviously I found this site because I was completely baffled by the fact that his show is still on the air, and wanted to see if anybody else thought the way I did. After searching for “Craig Ferguson is stupid”, and “Annoying Craig Ferguson”, and “I hate Craig Ferguson”, I came upon this little blog. All I can say is THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING PEOPLE LIKE US TO HAVE A VOICE IN THE WORLD.

Inspired by your blog, I am now proposing that all who find Craig Ferguson should unite in our quest to stop his tirade. Craig Ferguson must go down. We must stand up and unite in our hatred of Ferguson. It is the only way to prevent him from destroying late night television, and the world as we know it. Please, join hands - and voices - with me in my crusade against Craig Ferguson.

Sincerely,
Joe

Lettuce pray….for the jealous louses hating on Craig. Your greeness emanates a disturbing vibe!!! Not only are you jealous of his looks, your inability to understand humor is obvious. Sure…to each his own. But the haters here are “humor blind.” (Contrast to “color blind”).

Bet the haters here are big Adam Sandler fans and all teenagers.

Grow up and smell the humor.

I find craig very funny. Yes he has been doing the same kind of stand up stuff since his days as Bing Hitler (boy he was savage then) (Whales??? Big fat Bastards who wallow around all day eating plankton…Kill ‘em all!”) but it’s funny for some, not for others. But ffs if slating him in this forum is so important therapy….wooo hooo carry on. It’s funny too!

Faux-faggy-Craig is a little repetitive, which makes him predictable but safe, like your late-night cocoa - it’s familiar, and it helps you sleep. The gay self-references are rather coy - very traditional British hunour - Benny Hill, Frankie Howard et al. I’ve been a new Craig fan for a year, really keen - but now I’m bored - the guy doesn’t offend, doesn’t provoke. Best thing about him is that he isn’t any of the other guys - Leno might appeal to my late mother-in-law, along with Lawrence Welk; Letterman is a spoiled child - nya-nya-nya-nya - but fundamentally gutless in the face of real talent; Conan is smart but still embarrassing in performance. I guess I stopped watching a few weeks ago. Has he been funny yet? (Note to uber-fans - get an education)

Craig Ferguson blows, big time. I wish they put a commercial between Letterman and Ferguson so I didn’t have to hear that horrible relax, undo your pants joke (again). Sometimes I watch a min just to enjoy the train wreck.

The most annoying/amazing part of the show is when he makes these total stale jokes and the audience falls out of their chairs laughing. WTF? Bizarro.

Adam Sandler/Bob Saget fans rejoice - more schlock for you to enjoy

He has obviously changed your lives if you bother to start a blog and contribute to it.
He is obviously good at what he is doing (confirmation also comes from the pretty frequent self-referential instances of irony); else, he would not last a bloody sec.
The point is you do not have to like him. Watch what you like (if anything). Live your lives.

I think Craig is hilarious; however, I agree with whoever it was that said Adam Sandler is BAD. The only thing I liked him in was Waterboy, and I really didn’t like him - his mother, girlfriend and coach were hilarious. He is the kind of guy who must have connections (kind of like Paul on Letterman). They have to take him because he knows the right people or something.
Craig Ferguson just has that weird British humour thing going on - or is it anti British humour since he is Scottish. Anyway, it either appeals to you or it doesn’t. I laugh out loud every time I watch him. I think he is great and SUCH an improvement over the last guy - arrogant, boring and very un-funny - so bad I can’t even remember his name - only something about 5 questions. He was terrible. I really like the show. Maybe the sound effects and the accent have something to do with it.

This is so stupid. I went to google Ferguson and found this site. It is completely appalling that you all don’t have time to do anything else but “hate” Craig. I happen to like him. But then I don’t really “hate” anyone.

I think you should get a real life and don’t be so dumb to start a blog about stupid stuff.

There are several people that you mentioned that I don’t really find funny at all, not even intelligent, but then again, I don’t watch what I don’t like! Turn the darn channel. Obviously you have watched him enough to get your panties in a wad. At least he is man enough to make fun of himself. Something I would assume you wouldn’t do.

As for the rest of you “haters”, you must have searched for Ferguson’s name on the web. Why? You either secretly like him, our you have nothing better to do. Don’t you have jobs or friends? Or are you just geeks that sit in front of the computer?? That’s pretty lame if you ask me.

You “haters” don’t think he’s funny because makes fun of your incompetence and your faggot lifestyles. Hell, I think that’s the least he could do for the world.

What kind of answer can be written to someone doesn’t like a TV personality simply because he’s gay? So I won’t even try, even if we avoid this pea-brain’s homophobia issues to simply point out that just because someone acts gay doesn’t mean he is. Jerry Lewis was the first to do this, and many others have followed. As for the question of whether Ferguson is funny….well, is any late night talk show host always funny? Or even funny most of the time? The best you can hope for is a few good laughs a show. The reason why Ferguson stands out is because he’s the first comedian on TV to tell a somewhat long, somewhat intellectual, somewhat rambling story with a few small chuckles and (sometimes) an eventual big payoff since Woody Allen and Bill Cosby in their stand-up days of the 1960s. If you appreciate a combination of dry European humor (for this, you need to realize the world doesn’t end at California on one end and New York on the other…), a lot of double-entendre, and you’re willing to do a little thinking on your own as you digest a routine, then you’ll like this guy. If not, turn to Spike….there’s always a car chase going on…much easier for simple minds to understand. Maybe it will be a shiny car…..all the better.

Compared to Craig F, Letterman et al is beyond boring. DL is obviously tired of reading his cue cards and has stopped trying to be funny. I can’t stand watching him while I wait to burn Craig’s monologue on DVD every night since 2005. Craig is in a league with Johnny Carson (he is better than all hosts and that will be proved in the coming years) …the bar is now set very high for future late night hosts. For those too limited in brain function and true dark comedy to realise his genius, Craig does do some “low-brow” content on his hsow, but he’s very aware he’s doing it, his true fans are aware he’s doing it on purpose…and it just makes him more funny because we KNOW how unbelievably brilliant he is…and he is so unique in being an intellectual beyond what most of a TV audience can comprehend…He is the funniest natural comic on tv period (no cue cards people!!! night after night) that the future of late night WILL be forced to EVOLVE because in the coming years he will become the one to look to for influence. I’d like to see Letterman, Leno and Conan do a 9-12 minute opening monologue 5 nights a week (and do stand up nationally on weekends?) writing any of it themselves at all, much less not having it all written down for them to READ. It is so -obvious- the “others” are reading lines written for them, and Craig F is ad-libbing a great deal of the time. I know Craig F respects Letterman, but he is a very humble man obviously…I can’t believe he doesn’t know somewhere in his heart that he has turned his competition into comedy talk-show has beens-wannabes-…I’ll bet THEY know and realise their contributions to late-night will be forgotten in history because of Craig Ferguson’s stunning talent. I have no doubt he will just continue to get better and he will be way more famous than the lot of them…if he can stand becoming really famous-it sounds like he doesn’t care for that aspect of his job. and may not be excited or interested in an earlier time slot in approx 2011. Plus, he’s the most gorgeous man on TV. (yeah that’s right I said it)

Craig Ferguson is by far, the best talk show host out there, definitely akin to Carson. Letterman is tired and dull, and seems to be ready to retire. Leno still does a good monologue. Conan is same old same old, but in all fairness, he has had some great gigs over the years. Ferguson does the low brow, the high brow and the in between, and for those who think he is not too bright, you have missed the mark. He has published a book called Between the River and the Bridge which received ONLY rave reviews from top notch book reviewers. He was always into literature and reads very heady books. So, imagine being funny, erudite, and easy on the eyes, yet empathetic and very aware of how lucky he is to have stepped out of a deadend lifestyle into a promising future. The man deserves credit for that and if you think not, move on.

I think C.F. is absolute genius. Yes his humor may not be appreciated by all…some people hate rap, some love it, I love his style. But don’t be so arrogant to say he sucks or whatever, it shows your immaturity and disdain for compromise or the ability to allow others their likes. I’ve been in the entertainment business for 32 years and I’m still successful. I’m sure some don’t like me, that’s fine, but sucks is not in their vocabulary. One doesn’t get a show like his by not being talented. Letterman has ruled late night for close to 30 years and Carson before him. Are they loved by everybody - no. But you can’t take their success away from them…look inward to your life, I’m sure you’re not one of the best in your field. When you get to that level maybe you are entitled to use the word sucks, until then keep it to you. I think people tend to take their inner most fears and publicly display them against others.Hmmmm…

Craig F. is an absolute tool. He can’t tell a joke, but most importantly he knows he sucks and he knows his show sucks. And he doesnt have a band. Besides that let bigons be bigons.

Craig is absolutely unwatchable!!! I am so glad to see that I’m not crazy. I am an avid comedy fan. I spend many, many weekends at comedy clubs and have seen many big name and unknown comedians. Craig is amateur at best. I’ve watched his show several times. Sure, throughout the show I may chuckle once or twice, but it mostly bores me. I have actually watched a few shows with people and cracked up laughing at Craig…not at his jokes, but at the train wreck that is his comedic style. He must have really known somebody to get this slot. Conan is great. Letterman is great. Leno is great. Craig sucks.

I guess he must be unwatchable, since he just beat Conan in the latest ratings…

To put it mildly, he’s probably speaking too fast for most of you, then you have no idea what is going on, so you say he’s boring. Go back to watching Survivor and American Idol, since these are the shows you drones like to watch.

I think most of you people who think Craig Ferguson isn’t funny or smart, are really uptight and probably aren’t that smart yourselves. AND you probably have no idea what IT is, and couldn’t have the slightest glimpse into what it really takes to succeed in this business, which he is CLEARLY doing. If you hate his late night show, just to show you what he’s got, pick up a copy of his amazing novel. “Between the Bridge and the River.”

I just saw Craig perform at the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal. For anyone who says he is not talented, you are delusional. It was an AMAZING show, including a MUSICAL number… he has a great singing voice! The media all said his show was the best of the festival. Like someone posted earlier, if you don’t like him personally, that’s your business. But to degrade him is just uncalled for and immature. He’s a wonderful person & very talented and I hope he is on Tv for many, many years to come!

I always thought Craig was pretty good and alot better than that dried up old piece of crap Letterman thats on just before him. I can do without Letterman, but Craig brings to the Comedy world an unusual style. I guess I could do without the Homophobia, but Im atleast secure with myself and can see the humor in it, how about a few of you fools, eh? lmao
Conan is pretty dry aswell as Letterman, but then again theres the nutcase Jimmy Kimmel. This guy is surely a sad sack of crap. I see he finally bought himself a new suit or two, lmfao And all the retreads he brings on his show suck including all that Rapa crap we can all do without.

I think there are A TON of men out there that have “man crushes” on Craig Ferguson. They kiss the ground he walks on and will defend him to the end. The same with certain women who are obsessed with him. I saw him perform live in Las Vegas and my entire image and idea about him changed. He is a jerk. Completely flawed and contrary to what he says on his show, I think he has had alcohol and/or drugs in the last 10 years. You can tell he has A LOT of unresolved issues…..

He really didn’t know where to go with the conversation, being devoid of wit and improv, despite being with a great, funny, comic actor, so rambled on about Halo and crap. In frustration i found this thread (Googled CRAIG FERGUSON CRAP) to see if anyone else was as astounded as me that this guy is actually paid to conduct a tv interview show.

I used to think Craig was funny, but lately his monologues are the same thing night after night. 3 minutes of “relax, sit down”, the obligatory Paul McCartney picture, one-sided jokes and attacks on McCain, recycled jokes from the night before, and filler material of acting gay inbetween. Maybe the writers are to blame, but he should realize that if he doesn’t have the material he can’t maintain the length of his monologue. Dave gave up trying too (and trying to be funny) long ago.

Wow. People really can be cruel when attacking anonymously. We were feeling a bit guilty for complaining to Mr. Ferguson’s program about a recent guest. We typed in “craig ferguson blogs” to see if we could find out how others received the appearance of this particular guest, and we found this. While it’s heartening to read that some people seem to react from a place of civility and sincerity, it seems a large number of responders here react from a much uglier place. Isn’t it possible, even preferable, to make one’s point without four-letter words, or personal attacks? If you don’t enjoy the program, it’s your privilege to turn elsewhere. What do you gain from being nasty or hurtful to someone else? Yes, we do enjoy the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and have for several years now. He seems determined to be authentic–one might say more than one normally finds in those who make a living as entertainers. Can you appreciate how hard that is for a regular Joe, let alone someone who is stepping it one day at a time? He has ‘warts’, as we all do, but doesn’t seem to be trussed up by trying to hide them. He jokes about his own personal foibles, great and small, and doesn’t even try to hide behind the smarminess that some entertainers try to pass off as “real”. Give him a break. He does a great job most of the time, and delivers darn good the rest. His is a tough job whatever you may think. His monologues are truly extraordinary–did you see his rant on the death of punk? Hysterical…and REAL. Did you hear what he said about being proud to be an American on the night after the election? Does a repeated fart joke about the studio bathroom really offend your sensibilities more than the rampaging masturbating bear on Conan? Have you watched him interview Larry Block, Connie Schultz (Sharrod’s wife), Carl Reiner, Denis Leary, the Egyptologist from LACMA, Barry Sonenfeld,or John Malkovich? What about the night he gave a spot to the Starbuck’s barista? Julie Gribble, was it? Who, on late night or any talk show, would do that? And, come on…the variety he embraces in his musical guests from Alice Cooper to Big&Rich to Duffy to Ludacris…WOW. Did you see the show with Ringo Starr? You really missed something there. He’s not afraid to break the mould, and while he is courteous and polite to his guests, he’s no sycophant. Guess what? He treats them like they’re real people, talented people, but real people nonetheless. That means he neither fawns over nor rails against them. It’s a conversation, not a fluff-stop. And, yes, you can tell which guests are uncomfortable with that…but, doesn’t that say more about them than him? A few words about good looks. They fade. They obfuscate the bearer, and they mollify the viewer–but only for a while. Professionally, real talent is what lasts, and on a personal level, real heart. It seems to us that Mr. Ferguson has both talent and heart. Maybe you should check in to the program more often. Worst case, you have to turn the channel, right?

When he first came on back in 2005, I was really excited because I remembered how funny Mr. Wick was from the Drew Carey Show. However, it didn’t take more than a few times watching his show (painfully) all the way through until I realized that I liked him in that show because he is a good actor, not a good comedian. I love Letterman and I’d think he’d have a good sense of who’s funny and who’s not, but I have to say that Craig has some of the most shallow, stupid crap I’ve ever seen on TV, and it sickens me when the audience laughs hysterically on queue while I’m sitting there trying to figure out any reason why I should be laughing at all. Sorry Craig, but you’re really, truly not funny in any sense.

That people would spend their time posting, replying, and many times replying over and over again, often with such venom and hate over someone they don’t even know, is just amazing to me.

I find it fascinating that CBS has continued to keep this hack on the air. I searched this blog because I wanted to see if I was alone in my absolute hatred of this mans show. I don’t hate craig, but his talent is absolutely absent. I think it’s entirely possible that he has dirt on a producer at CBS. The worst part about this blog is that there are actually people out there that find him funny. Seriously, anyone that finds this man funny has a pathetic life. Do these people ever get out? I’ve seen billboards more funny and entertaining than this hack. I can’t quite pin point what it is about him, but I think he strikes an anger in me that wants to reach through the TV and gouge a spoon through his eye. Is that weird? I don’t think there is any other TV personality in my lifetime that is as talentless as this Douche Bag. Please do us all a favor, Craig, quit now. And to those of you that think Craig is funny, I challenge you to quote him. On one thing the man has said that made you laugh. I guarantee it will not make me laugh, because HE’s NOT FUNNY!

I’ve turned on the Late Late Show half a dozen times. It was so boring, I had to switch channels four times out of the six, but it can be very amusing. I do think he’s a good-looking guy. Also, his parodies of Prince Charles I’ve seen on YouTube are hilarious. I never thought he was gay, just wacky.

I am 31, from Scotland, been living in USA for 3 years. I was familiar with Craig Ferguson for a fair while before seeing him on his chat show. He is bloody awful, never has been funny, there are many, many far more talented/funny Scots who deserve this break more than Ferguson. Now i concede that he must have been able to schmooze very well to work his way into this position and i’m sure it took a lot of hard work and dedication but the man is simply not funny. Billy Connolly he is not , Brian Connolly maybe lol

Craig Ferguson sucks so much that I actually googled “Does Craig Ferguson use a laugh track for his show?” It sounds like completely canned laughter. I would not be surprised if someone was paid to hold up “laugh now” signs to the audience somewhere out of sight of the cameras. Also, what is with that ANNOYING theme song??? When I hear that come on I know it is time to either change the channel or go to bed.

Also, Conan O’Brian is definitely the funniest late night talk show host out there right now. David Letterman is just as good, but is a little less fresh… I mean, he’s 60! But Dave is a class act, funny, and knows how to use a certain look, tone, or offbeat silly statement to elicit a laugh from his audience… and that definitely takes talent.

Craig Ferguson (whose name I even hate typing) cannot draw a laugh without ridiculous costumes, a real (but almost certainly exaggerated) accent, and stupid costumes. AWFUL! If television shows could smell, his would smell like rotten tomatoes.

I’m just wondering how much Craig gets paid. He complains a lot about not getting paid enough. I think he used to be great, and now he’s just stale, and he doesn’t even have to put forth any effort to collect his cheque. I can see why people might have sour grapes over this. Why won’t he try? Maybe it’s just human nature to rest on laurels for as long as humanly possible.

ON THE OTHER HAND…

His fans are very easily entertained and undemanding. If anything, they insist that the humor be kept at bathroom level by praising and congratulating him all the time. So if he does anything different, he may lose his enormous fan base.

I think I wanted Craig to use that spirituality of his, and those ideals of his, to elevate comedy, perchance to elevate the minds of the American public. Maybe he wanted to as well, but his demographic just won’t let him.

I remember watching him one night, and he admitted to being blue - but then turned that into a hilarious rage routine. Maybe it’s an awful grind to be stuck in a contract in a show with nowhere to go.

Even if he says he’s too old and too rich to care, I don’t believe him. I think he’d really prefer to leave some sort of legacy.

If I had managed to work myself into the kind of position he has, I would cringe thinking that this “body of work”, is what I’d be remembered for when I croak. I suspect he does too.

When I first started watching Craig (2 months ago) I thought he was funny as hell. I must have tuned in on a good month or something because his shows have got progressively worse in the last month. If he can’t carry his show, he often expects his hollywood guest to carry it for him. I hope the show gets better because it indeed had its moments. Letterman had Martin Short on the whole night the other day, I think he felt his shows were going south just a bit and Martin came on…even did the whole song and dance! felt like an old J.Carson show. J. Kimmel also seems to suck, haven’t watched it a lot but the other night when the Shia LeBeouf was on I could not believe how bad the show got. Could it be that newer or “hot” actors/actress have hit an all time shallow as well?

I never miss his show, so apparently I should be pissed the he’ll off, but I can’t help but smile at all the strong words used to degrade and uplift this blog! IT’S HILARIOUS! First of all, I am a teenager, so no “nerd sitting at a computer with nothing to do” jokes, please. I’ve heard ‘em all and it gets old. Second, maybe I enjoy the show BECAUSE I’m a teenager and haven’t watch alot of shows in my day that can compete. Third, notice my complete lack of swear words.

I started watching Craig last August. I really thought he was funny, quick-witted and smart. Started taping the show — loved the puppets and musical numbers. Then, I started noticing small things…

Mean-spirited, sometimes nasty jokes. Being flippant, sometimes a jerk while reading email. His obsession with his own penis. Constant toilet humor, especially fart jokes. Acting bored with certain guests or turning the conversation to himself. And finally, the political stuff…

The guy could use a huge dose of maturity. As he likes to say, “Oh, everyone thinks fart jokes are funny!” Yeah, everyone who is 13 years old…grow up Craig. Seriously.

Sorry to suggest a social concern.
However, it is important for Mr. Ferguson
to separate romantic love from sexuality, body functions
and parts. And he is succeeding since none of you seem
to notice. This is of course- a radical, gay male point of
view. Many things are creeping up on us in our society and
culture and this hammering constantly that sex is separate
from the greatest joy (romantic love) is one of them.
