Late Night Bloodbath
Bad news for NBC. Very bad!
As Conan O'Brien is set to replace Jay Leno on the Tonight Show next year……
Craig Ferguson, whose Late Late Show began in January 2005, finally managed to beat his competition for the first time in over three years.
This marks the first time Ferguson's show has gotten higher ratings than Conan's Late Night.
Ferguson's executive producer, Peter Lassally, stated that Ferguson's "getting looser and looser all the time and for the last few months it's clear that he's having such a good time that you can't resist it as a viewer."
That's great news for Ferguson, who's probably been having a great start of the year. Just two months ago, the Scottish Ferguson was officially sworn in as a US Citizen after passing his American citizenship test.
And now, later this month he will be hosting the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., which as you know, Perezzers will also be attending!
In response to Ferguson's ratings spike, NBC noted that O'Brien was still ahead with viewers aged 18-49, to which the network bases its advertising sales on. And with the younger half of the demographic, O'Brien gets more viewers than David Letterman.
We wouldn't know who's better to watch. We're usually passed out by the time both shows air!

Gone In WEEKS?????
Getting Sex-y
I love CF!!!! He's really funny!!!
very bad
I love this guy and I think he's hilarious. Pretty cute! Jay Leno is funny but tired, we need some fresh meat on late night.
FIRST!!!!!
IF HEZ FUNNY..
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZI'LL WATCH ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

ew ferguson is not funny at all…did they maybe think that happened because everyone in college goes out on thursdays so they weren't there to watch conan?! i think letterman is the best & i cant wait until leno leaves bc hes had maybe 3 good jokes in all the years of his show. sad.
-THEY'RE BOTH GROSS.

Yea,yea,I tapped that jigger ass and I's got blubber on my lips,
PEREZ I WANT TO BE YOUR ASSISTANT!!! WILL WORK FOR FREE GOSSIP AND HOT PARTIES! HAHAHAHAHA
He is cute. I saw his profile with some photos on 'millionai refr iends com', where celebrities, pro athletes, beauty queens and wealthy singles are there. Is he trying to develop a relationship there?
Craig………hands down, he is The One to watch.
This guy is as funny as hell.
800 million dollars in aid every year, so if Columbia is going to treat their poor farmers like dirt and kill them, then we will not have a
trade agreement with you. The Democrat's are taking over and this shit has hit the fan. Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted.
Conan's number one always but Craig's show is really good too, it's a bit of a conflict for me so I end up going back and forth.
What's with people posting the word FIRST????? Do you not know how to communicate a complete sentence? Do you get off on being the first (although you are not) to post a word on a new article? Do you hover around your computer and refresh every minute to nab a new story? Methinks some peeps need a life!
hmmm..
he is not funny at all. conan is genius.
YAY CRAIG!!!!!
Love him!!!
i WILL NOT WATCH CONAN IF JAY IS ON ANOTHER CHANNEL AT THE SAME TIME…. JAY ALL THE WAY!!! HE IS SO MUCH BETTER!
I actually prefer Craig Furgeson most of the time! He's more real than Conan, to me.
I just happened upon CF last week (I rarely leave the cable stations) and this guy is a HOOT! His combination of self-effacing humor and that dry-as-dirt British humor is a grand time!
I work on Craig Ferguson's Show, HE RULES!!!! The man will say anything and he his becoming the Howard Stern of late night. The New King OF All Media is here!
Glad to see that people are catching on how funny and sincere CF is…Letterman was a smart man to hire him. Don't care what the ratings say, anyone who is smart with a sense of humor watches DL and CF. Jay Leno makes my blood boil he is so scripted and phoney.
Conan is brilliant, hillarious & humble… no one is greater than MY CONEBONE!!!!!! Woot woot Conesie… I love you!
They're all old cunts regardless.
Had a chance 2c Ferguson years ago, at a screening for a movie he wrote and starred in and I saw, even then, that he was very funny and clever…even without any type of script. Very dry sense of humor but a great comic. He deserves all success that comes his way.
I can't believe how you inserted your fat, ugly watermelon-head into a story that had nothing to do with you?? Seriously, Perez, even some of your fans hate your self-promotion. You are needy beyond belief, even for an emo fudge packer.
Lighten up! FIRST FIRST FIRST FIRST FIRST, mf-er!

Craig is cute… even if his profile IS on millionair friends com or whatever.
Conan is the best!
I LOVE CRAIG!!!!!!!!! i think he is sooo funny and sooo cute and i want to marry him. that is all.
what is our world coming to if Perez is going to a white house event???
Good God. What IS that woman wearing ?
I LOVE HIM!!!!! HE HAS THE BEST SHOW ON LATE NIGHT and he is the funniest host ever!! watch him once and you'll be hooked..ooooh nooo..it's the scary spider!! ..get the bong out..it's time for craig!!!
Craig ROCKS!! I stay up late all the time to watch! He's going to be my downfall if I keep oversleeping for work!! LOVE CRAIG FERGUSON!
Craig is fantastically funny - so glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves!
Still a Conan fan too but since the writer's strike, I watch Craig instead every night…hysterical, non-sensical stuff.
craig beats any of them by a million, he deserves better ratings anyways.
This doesn't bode well for O'brian to replace Leno..what was NBC thinking?
Conan is a good interviewer, but not funny at all when he does his monologe. Craig's opening is much better.
i love craig ferguson!!!!!!! and i went to the bar last night, and my friend was talking about "rickrolled" and i was like how do you know about that? and he was like how do YOU know about that?!???!!! funny bizznass
HIS OPENING MONOLOGUE IS HYSTERICAL AND IT IS A GREAT SHOW.
#18 - natalie says – reply to this
he is not funny at all. conan is genius.
SO TELL US NATALIE, WHEN WAS THE LOBOTOMY?
Ferguson is the best guest interviewer of any of the late nighters, although probably on par with Letterman - they both can do comedy and serious very well & intelligently, and with a wide guest spectrum. Jay's the pits in interviews but he & Letterman get much better guests. Craig deserves better guests to work with. His monologue is topical, up to the minute and very witty. Don't care for his dress-up skits. Craig, we love you here in Toronto!
ooooo i love craig! he makes me pee my pants and i think he have a devilishly cute smile.
Conan is BY FAR the best!
I think he's hysterical . I'm a big fan. I just can't stay up that late.
i love craig ferguson! he is so sexy and funny
OBSESSED WITH LATE NIGHT SHOWS. unfortunately totally in DESPERATE need of some shut-eye. LOVE OBRIEN! he is huge in the north!
i hate conan…i will never watch the tonight show again as soon as he takes over…he ISNT funny at all…just obnixous and annoying
I love this show! he's a RIOT!
Craig Ferguson is not funny, he is annoying! I can't stand listening to him. His voice just grates my nerves. Conan, however, is HILARIOUS. I can't wait for him to take of Leno's show because Leno is NOT funny. Letterman is also funny.
Conan takes the cake though!
FERGUSON IS BETTER THAN letterman, obrian, and leno combined.
Craig has always been the best. CO doesn't listen to his guests because he's sitting there trying to think of something funny to say. Craig is naturally funny and isn't trying to one-up his guests. He's handsome, clever, funny and he's got nice feet!
That is awesome!!! I think Craig Ferguson is the best!!! After working a hard day, I roll a fattie and watch him and relax:) Its pretty sad, but his theme song actually gets me smiling and happy. Conan is so over the top and trying to be funny, whereas Craig is just funny and does not seem to be trying. Coincidetly, I find Jay Leno tries to hard, where Letterman is himself!!!
I love Cheeky Craig. I couldn't believe it when I saw him acting on Drew Carey's sitcom.
*
Self-depracating humor is sehx-say.
He's very funny… love his show!!!! He wrote a book a few years back which was great too…
Its about time! I like Conan. He's funny, but his interviews are so awkward that I feel awkward watching them. I feel uncomfortable for him and his guest. Usually when I watch these shows I'm not interested in anything more than the monologue anyway unless there is a really good star on that night, but with Craig I just love to see how he and whoever he interviews relate. I love when he gets his guests cracking up!
FUCK YEA i love him, he is awesome, plus i have a thing for scottish men, so hot and he is hot!!!
Re: Conan Lover –
fuck you man, Craig is so much funnier and better looking!!!!
Honestly, I was so surprised that Conan was even picked as Jay's replacement. He's a nice guy but a terribly ineffective host. Watch him - its hard for the guests to get a word in edgewise - he is constantly goofing around, antics, etc. - you never really get to hear an "interview" with the guest.
I don't watch Jay as he's too conservative for me - but I do hope they find a better replacement than Conan. Its kind of like watching a goofy little boy — I want to hear what the guest has to say, and it just rarely happens with him.
Conan all the way.
That's all that needs to be said.
omg…yours soo lucky…i love craig furgeson…he's soo f***n sexy!!!
I'm sure you are passed out by the time these shows air - from binge eating you fat ass.
Yay! Craig is hilarious! Great guy, really the most genuine on late night. Good for him.
VIVA LA CONAN!!!!!!!!!
conan's the best for sure. i like crag and all but it seems like he tries to hard to be like conan. whatever
I used to love Conan, but i think he's gone downhill in the past few years. I love love love Craig's show tho- it always puts a smile on my face
Craig is awesome! He's the only one I watch! Way to go Craig!
Craig is the worst of the lot. Never watch him anymore. His accent really annoys me.
Craig Ferguson is the BEST!! I never watch any late night talk show except for Craig Ferguson and, as I'm a Canuk, The Hour but that's on earlier. In truth, there is nothing but crap on TV at the moment. BRING BACK HEROES!!!
They both bore me.
Craig is awesome. i have been a big geeky fan since he started. funny, natural, wry…best monologue in late night–hands down. i told him so myself when i ran into him at an art show in the city, and he was so sweet and almost didn't believe me. i was like, no dude, i'm serious. nobody engages the audience into a genuine moment like that. we'll see how they'll corrupt him…
Conan does'nt deserve that job.
i,ve said from day 1 ,this is the funniest,most talented show on the air,fact maybe better even than johnny carson.last night closing was freaken funny,craig,you the man……..love
I love Craig!! He is hilarious. I am so glad that peeps r finally noticing.
Craig is HORRIBLE! He doenst even ask the guests about what they are on for esp. the people from LOST it pissed me off. Conan is much funnier!
I have watched CF for at least a year. Can't go back and watch Conan O"Moron. I think when he takes over for Leno…..look out. Bad news. I guarantee it is going down in the ratings. Letterman and Ferguson are gonna rule. Good. Conan is never gonna keep the same people who watched Leno. No way. Conan is too childish. His humor will not bode well with the older audience. I see trouble for NBC. Craig Ferguson is really funny and he is getting better. CF will rule.
Fuck all of the others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Conan O'brien Rules Late Night!!!!!!!!!
CF is just trying to replicate Conebones show….unsuccesfully!!!
OMG — you have GOT to be kidding me! CF is LAME. He's the most painfully awkward interviewer I've ever seen and has a great talent for making his guests equally awkward. His monologues and attempts at comedy fall flat. I can't believe he's not cancelled yet — hands down the worst. I'd rather sit through a Carson Daily marathon than watch this guy.
Craig is the best person on tv rite now so natural funny and cute!!!
I LOVE CRAIG!! He's on my celebs i'd shag list for sure. he's so funny and sweet and charming and sincere. i just wanna hug him omg!! but seriously, craig = true humor, conan = fart jokes. big difference.
Craig is a cheeky little monkey! I used to watch Conan, but now I find myself DRAWN to Craig's style- love him! Now I feel uncomfortable watching Conan-he is so skittish, and his self-deprecation with pretty actresses is SO predictable that it's not funny anymore. Craig is HOT too-would love to hang out with him and see what's under his kilt….
FERGUSON ROCKS!!
Conan O'Brien is a late night television god. Enough said.
I LOVE CRAIG FERGUSON!!! Sexy, funny, so good with the camera and audience.
I've never liked LENO…so phony, scripted and uptight.
CRAIG IS HALARIOUS.
I have been an advid Conan fan since he first aired. When the writers strike happened Craig Ferguson came back before Conan and I realized that he was soooo much more funnier. So I switch and I told all my friends and they changed over too!! GO CF!!
craig ferguson…should go back too scotland….no1 will ever watch that show….hes a no talent hack.
CONAN!!!!!
Craig is the best! He's actually intelligent AND funny. How often do you get that? His guests obviously love him, as does the audience. Craig has a totally different style than any other host, and it's WONDERFUL!
congrats to Craig–much funnier that Conan.
Conan is irritating and full of himself. Ferguson isn`t perfect, but he`s a better choice for late-night programming. I LOVED J. Carson, and C.F. is the next best thing!
Re: Tazio –
Get a REAL job and quit this spam crap! How much is this paying you?
LOVE Ferguson! From the first time I saw him a year ago, I just can't stop watching! Funny as hell, and hot as hell. Takes dares that amaze even me.
Great Job!
Craig is AWESOME!!!! You should at least try to stay up for the first half of his show, his monologue is NOT to be missed.
Way to go Craig! He is my favourite Late Night comedian
The Prince Charles impressions are fantastic… and gotta love his Paul McCartney/Angela Lansbury running gag!
Craig is much more funn to watch. I was a Conan fan for years, then I heard Craig was taking over, I immediately switched to him, I hope he keeps up the winning.
PEREZ, YOU FORGOT TO FUCKING MENTION THAT THE REASON FOR THIS WAS BECAUSE THAT WEEK CONAN WAS ALL RERUNS, WHILE FERGUSON HAD ALL NEW SHOWS. DOUCHEBAG.
