Honesty and humor - good combo. I'm learning to live with dark circles and zombie walk - just to get a laugh every night.

A very funny guy. So different from the other late night talk show hosts, and so much better. I think it's because Craig is so much more down-to-earth, natural and honest. He's very likable and I think people relate to him more than they do to Letterman or Leno, who seem to me to be a little condescending. Although he is very unassuming and self-deprecating, he's also more intelligent than other hosts. One of the things I find so appealing about the show is that it is so casual and relaxed. Craig can use the same catch-phrases over and over again and they still come off as extremely hilarious. That's a sign of real talent, when you can actually be somewhat repetitive and still be side-splittingly funny. Craig also knows how to use silence and pauses very skillfully, much like great comedians such as Jack Benny and Bob Newhart. Watching his skits makes me think of comedic giants like Red Skelton who would crack himself up. I love his stuff. I think he's better than anyone else on now.

Craig Ferguson is a funny guy, and I've been mildly entertained by his show at times. However, I am likely to chose Conan over Craig 99 out of 100 times. Ferguson just isn't as much my style.

Craig is hilarious. I tell myself every night that I cannot stay up late to watch, that I've got to get to bed, but I find myself anxiously awaiting his show. He's extremely inventive, versatile. I love his charm, self-deprecating humor, and his honesty. He's had a very "varied" background and is honest and upfront about it. I also appreciate his non-judgmental take on topics. It is refreshing to watch someone who is funny and interesting. He is so much funnier than Conan (the most unfunny host on TV) and Jimmy Kimmel. He's not hard to look at either!

Not funny, not talented, god only knows how he landed a job on TV. I can guarantee he would NEVER have landed a job on British TV !! Americans are SO easily pleased (most of them, anyway)

The only late night talk show worth watching. On too late though.

There is no doubt about the talent of Craig Ferguson. Anyone who remembers him from Drew Carey's show knows his talent. Think about it. He starts his character on that show as a slim-ball boss and ends up a couple of years? later as a tormented gay guy rooming with the guy he has tormented. Talk about a stretch. So what does he bring to the Late, Late Show? He brings an incredible and unbelievable improvisational ability (one I am sure came in handy with Carey) while at the same time maintaining an unself-conscious, self-effacing humor. It truly is astounding. He interviews well because he seems to see others as people that are different from himself and he finds that interesting. Whether he is really interested in those he interviews is impossible to know, but he comes across as an observer, not a robot asking questions. He has conversations with those he is talking to. He is flat-out the best on late night television.

Love him he is so funny and he doesn't have a big head. I really liked when he would do that skit with the guy from the Bold and the Beautiful. He was great on the Drew Carey show and I am glad he has his own show I just wish it was on earlier so I could watch it more. He really should be on instead of Jay Leno.

My husband and I love Craig Ferguson. Craigs'story telling in the beginning of the show is the best of all late night TV. CBS and World Wide Pants has a treasure. Ww never miss an episode. We have been to his TV tapings and Las Vegas appearance at the Tropicana, and as always Craig is a very gracious man. However the best Craig appearance I have seen was at his book signing on 4-11-06 at a Book Soup. Craig is so genuine. I hope to see Craig in upcoming events and thank you so much to David Letterman and Peter Lasalley for bringing Craig into our homes every evening.

I use to love Johnny Carsons tonight show, and Letterman was the most clever man on TV for years, but late night talk shows have gotten boring and repititious. Mr Fergusons show is a fresh and clever. I didn't like the part he played on Drew Carey, or his acting. I had not planned on watching this show, but happened to have it on one night while doing something else, and it got my attention. I was VERY entertained. His humor is clever without resorting to shock stunts, and , unlike on the D C show, his personna is very charismatic with in interesting kind of unassuming demeaner. He neither comes off cocky or arrogant, and his humor is sometimes childlike observation of the mundane without being childISH (as compared to say, Conan). I would never have thought of this guy as a potential talk show host, but I gotta think when he moves into the 11:30 spot he will kick everyone elses asses. He is better than either Letterman or Leno, and FAR FAR FAR better than Conan. This says a lot because I have always liked David Lettermans witt. If you hate talk shows, watch this show.

Craig is the best late night TV host since Johnny Carson. He is improving with experience and needs to stop the Sean Connery bits. I love his Prince Charles and the bits with Bush. His monologues are the reason I stay up to watch his show. I recently attended a taping and he is even better in person, close up and personal.

Really enjoy watching Craig Ferguson. Very talented man. Especially good at imitating accents for skits etc. sometimes borders on icky jokes (bathroom humor etc) Needs to be careful at going too far on that type of humor, because he doesn't need it, his natural wittyness and charm will take him far!

Somewhere along the line adults forget how to play. Tune in for a refresher course on fun for its own sake. Mike Elzey

The night that Craig had on, Gerard Butler as his guest, was too say the least, SENSATIONAL! I laughed so hard , that I cried! They make a great team for entertaining the audience. When will Craig have Gerard Butler back on? He is in a newe movie now, Beauwolf & grendal, will be released in thr stated in 2006! Keep up the good work, Craig, you are a very sexy, good looking and entertaining man! Janice Isabell

I really like his style, he seems to give great interviews and just chats along without resorting to acting crazy.
edhdsn 10/19/2005
I've never seen a more natural talent than Ferguson. I go way back-(to Steve Allen & Jack Paar, and Johnny how I miss you)! Craig has an innocence, whether genuine or not, I don't know. But it's very endearing & it takes a lot to get me giggling at that hour! I find myself staying up past my bed time because of this witty Scotsman and his very benign sense of humor. I have a really good sense that Craig is on his way up. I predict he will become major, MAJOR! Laura Hudson

Craig Ferguson is a fun, low-key guy with a light touch on self-deprecating humor - MUCH better than Conan the jackass in the same time slot, and a nice alternative to Jon Stewart, David Letterman, and Jay Leno, all of whom I also enjoy for various reasons.

I like Craig Ferguson! I love his charm, wit and Scottishness! His humor is not mean, he can be down to earth and candid and yet is a gentleman! I like his honesty about his life experiences. He makes us think, feel and laugh. He is so alive and real! I never fail to laugh out loud when I watch his show. After I watch him, I feel happy, relaxed, mellow. I have been pleasantly entertained. He is a delightful package of talent and is a very appealling man! I believe that he will be hugely successful.

I stay up just to watch even when I have to be up at 6:00 the next morning. I pay for it the next day, but it's worth it. He's so much funnier and more original than the other late-night hosts. :-)
tajicat 08/31/2005
Craig is a bit of fresh air.. very different and adorable..both to men and women everyone is important.. I bet it's not long before he hosts academy awards show.. would be really fun! I think he is simpley charming..and fun to watch.!!!

I was astonished when I found out that Craig Ferguson was taking over for Craig Kilborn. Having a Late Show with a foreign is strange. But, I have to say he has been 5 times better than I had ever imagined. I figured I wouldn't like him because of his character on Drew Carey. He is nothing like that in real life, he is actually quite funny and has a real good camera prescence.
SublimeQwest 07/21/2005
I tape him every day (don't watch commerical TV live) I love watching him. Watch it and find out why.
