Craig Ferguson/ The Next Johnny Carson?
I have really started to enjoy Craig Ferguson since stumbling upon him in an interview he did with Michelle Pfeiffer. I was amazed at that moment by the mental gymnastics he effortlessly pulled off to make an average conversation sparkle.
He is a very smart guy and a tremendous conversationalist. Here is a video where Tommy Smothers says he is the heir apparent to Johnny Carson. That’s a pretty cool assessment. And it tells me that I’m not too far off in my appraisal of this guy.
I record his shows and generally play them at night before falling off to sleep. It’s a nice way to end the day. Craig you are a cool guy. I admire you a lot. And here is an interesting in depth look at Craig from someone who has some very good writing skills and a keen eye for detail.

Susan Braudy tries to get to the bottom of Craig’s sexuality. Good luck there Susan! He is a riddle wrapped in an enigma as the old saying goes. But he is also a very good hearted guy and one who often says to his nervous guests “I will protect you”. It really is a new kind of television he is inventing late at night. Hopefully NBC will steal him away from CBS and give him the money he deserves and the time slot America needs him to have SOON.
Oops. You know what? I bet CBS doesn’t want this video flying around the internet. If i can find it I will post it here ASAP. Or go to YouTube and find it. It’s worth the time and effort.
