I love Craig. He is not the average middle aged white guy at all. I would DVR his show for sure.

I agree. Craig is smart and I wish he would take his show up an intellectual notch instead of being silly most of the time.

If this is the "fresh" look he is bringing to the show, keep it.

Avatar to follow.

Craig was a RIOT before he married Megan. THAT'S what changed everything. And not for the better. Is marrying someone 20 years younger a talent killer?

Hope they're happy ’cause we're not.

I love Craig, he's funny and smart at the same time. Not to mention the way he handled the whole Britney Spears shaving her head thing, respect!

Did I mention he has got lovely hands… Mmm

Craig is the best late night host ever, in the history of TV. He's bright and hysterically funny….

Not to mention… he's hot!

Craig is the best. And he's so right about late-night talk show hosts, they're all the same. I think about this every time I flip through them. Aren't they just as tired for spitting out the same garbage every night? Come on, Craig — reinvent.

Everyone says they love this guy, but no one watches his unfunny show. He's terrible. He makes Jim Belushi look like a comic genius. All he wants to do is make jokes about himself when he's supposedly interviewing guests. Conan is guilty of that, but he's getting better. If Letterman insists on talking about what being a parent is like to every guest, he and CBS are in trouble with their late night programming.

I love him and I do watch his show but you are right about him making it about himself a lot. I wish he would talk more with the guests. He has the whole rest of the show to do (about) himself. I wish he would talk seriously (or at least listen seriously) so we could get some insight into the guest as a person. Let the other talk show hosts let them plug their projects, Craig. You are very intelligent. Ask the guest some penetrating questions.

The thing with Ferguson that is great for North American audiences is that his style of stand-up (I guess it's an English thing, because Ricky Gervais and Russell Brand are similar in that respect) is that it's more of a storytelling-type comedy than simply rapid-fire jokes. It's just really entertaining and different from what we're used to and haven't really seen since guys like Bill Cosby. Craig's a genius.

He is about as funny as a dirty pair of underwear. I can't sit through 2 seconds of his show.

I am 47 and was obsessed with Craig until he married a much younger woman. Now I'm just obsessed with posting bad things about his wife and him. I still watch the show, 'cuz I think he's funny but I'm really bitter about his marriage.
