Today, Craig Ferguson was sworn in as a U.S. Citizen. (Read about it here) So, he is now officially the funniest American. See him taking his citizenship test here. Could you pass? Me neither...
If you don't watch him on The Late, Late Show every night, you should. I TIVo-it and watch while I'm eating my Frosted Mini-Wheats in the morning. It's a great way to start your day, but there is the real danger of a milk-through-the-nose moment.
I first started watching him when I caught this show:
You don't see this kind of transparency on TV often. (Even if you do watch The View.) So, yes, he is a real guy, but he is also friggin hilarious.
Okay, so you don't believe me, right? Comedy snob are we? Here are some choice clips:
iPod vs. Zune
Old Fashioned Violence
He loves America
If I had my own sitcom, I would want him to be my sitcom husband. Ooooo, yes, I have the whole thing completely written inluding the opening credits and montage (to the tune of "It Must Be Love" by Madness). And when I say 'completely written,' I mean I have it all in my head.
What? Right, like you don't cast people in your own sitcom...Seriously, you do that too, right?
