If you’ve never seen Craig Ferguson’s Late Late Show on CBS, then you’re missing out on what I believe is, bar none, the best talk show host out there right now. Not only is Craig Ferguson a funny Scottish comedian, but he does the best opening show monologues I’ve ever seen. What’s so good about it? For one, he has absolutely no established plan for his monologue; he just comes out with a general idea of what he wants to do and he rips. Which invariably means he’ll end up going off on strange tangents that have nothing to do with how he started out with in the first place. Here’s Craig Ferguson talking about Steven Seagal, and why Craig loves him. (Mainly, it’s because Seagal has a song on his album called “Talk to my Ass.”) Great stuff, man, great stuff.
