It’s gotta be hard to address a scandal involving your own boss, but Craig Ferguson has done us proud!
The comedian discussed the awkward situation during Monday’s monologue of his Late Late Show, in which he asked the audience to “put yourself in my position.”
Speaking of David Letterman‘s extortion and adultery woes, Ferguson says: “The person you work for, the person you admire and respect, is caught in an embarrassing situation.” said Ferguson, whose show is produced under Dave’s Worldwide Pants banner. “And your job is to be funny about that, whilst trying to keep your own job.”
“So this is my last show,” he joked.
Ferguson did make light of the situation, but doesn’t claim to be a saint either! The comic just released a memoir about his struggle with alcoholism.
“If we are now holding late-night talk show hosts to the same moral accountability as we hold politicians or clergymen, I’m out,” he said. “I quite like my entertainers to be dangerous. I like my musicians to be kind of drug-fueled. Cause if you want entertainers to be squeaky clean, then who are you going to be watching? Jonas Brothers.”
Point taken!
