Craig really does pick his guests for this so well. Everyone is remarkably charming and just lovely.

so pissed i missed last night's craigyferg...i fell asleep.  And CBS hasn't posted it yet. However, I was watching a documentary about Carson on PBS, and Ferguson really feels like the most natural carson-successor, with his ability to work off of what the guests give him. Ferguson's interviews are always about the guest, like Carson's were. Conan may have the pedigree to be Carson's true successor, but Ferguson has the intangibles. I would love to see Conan do a sketch comedy type thing with the occasional interview. He admits the "guest shilling" bits of his show are weak, everyone who watches knows they're weak, he should play to his strenghths. involve guests in crazy shenanigans and then devote the last few minutes of their time to shilling. it accomplishes the same thing as sitting down and talking about useless poo poo like "that time I poo poo my pants" (which was, admittedly, hilarious) but Conan's strength has always been writing funny poo poo. Ferguson on the other hand...i could watch him talk to people all day.

"Adorable dingbat" does seem like the correct way to describe her. She's so unabashedly clueless (or at least guileless) American in a way that's more charming when it's in other countries. Also... is it possible Craig just sent off Secretariat and officially ended that bit by having him run with his own people? It would kinda be a good way to retire a gag.

I've just started watching the first Scotland episode. He needs to do many more traveling weeks for his show throughout the next few years because they are just so awesome. Oh, and Mila Kunis is just the cutest most beautiful precious little thing in the whole wide world.

I'm not sure exactly what it is, but the usual delightfully meandering interviews just seem to take on this whole new level of entertainment when they're wandering towards John Knox's massive grave.

As we were discussing earlier, people sexually attracted to amputees.. I'm just chiming in to say Craig Ferguson in Scotland is amazing. He should break format every sweeps.

Serious question: does anyone actually need the subtitles for this guy? He's perfectly understandable.

I understand him just fine, but at least it's fun to see the literal transcript of conversational Scottish.

I switched over to Jimmy Fallon on break and Tenacious D just finished their performance. Jimmy walked over and showed the Rize of the Fenix album artwork on the air, and it was completely unblurred and uncensored. I'm kinda shocked that happened, but it's friggin awesome anyways.

I was really worried for the stand-up who closed Conan last night because the whole show had been a total riot up until that point, and he absolutely killed it. So big props to Hannibal Buress for managing to not get totally killed by a Gregg Allman segment that was the most out-of-control hilarious interview on the show since the first time Tom Selleck was on.

After this bit, I really want to see Craig Ferguson and Hugh Laurie team up and write the most amazingly hilarious song ever. Craig did a whole episode that was just him and Stephen Fry, why not devote a whole episode to writing/performing silly songs with Hugh Laurie? Also, Craig has more than just the join or die tattoo? I'm more impressed by him, as shallow as it sounds. vvv seriously, that didn't need subtitles at all, she was perfectly intelligible. Even if I didn't watch a whole ton of BBC america, her accent wasn't that bad. Joke subtitles would have made that bit.

Another sign that you're watching this on American television: a Scotish woman speaking English still needs subtitles.

I love that his accent picks way up when he's talking to other Scottish people. My Dad, who is also from Scotland and now living in America, does exactly the same thing. It's pretty adorable. And you may be able to understand but trust me, there are a lot of Americans that do not understand even light accents. I've got an English accent and live in Nashville, and when I ask for "water" some people look at me like I've grown an extra head. It's all in the perspective

Here's the clip of Conan on Letterman: http://www.wwtdd.com/2012/05/conan-...leno-some-more/ It's funny, though it seems like Conan is still hesitant to really rip into Leno.

I'm sure there may still be some legal issues at play with that, too.

^^Everything sounds better in a Scottish accent. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Craig's week in Scotland was amazing. The bit with him and Michael Clarke Duncan at the school was so funny and touching, I nearly cried when he was talking to his younger self. Why can't every late night show be this good? Why does everything have to be so rigid and formulaic? Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Don't think it'll happen. Supposedly Laurie still has has some issues with Craig over his shanigans in the 80's.

KoB posted:Going on talkshows is probably part of his contract. Hugh Laurie could probably ask to have "Can defecate into the main producer's gaping mouth once a month" in his House contract if he wanted to. So he could probably have "I don't want to go to the least popular talk show" there as well, if he wanted to. Besides, the last few times he's been promoting his own poo poo. Personally, they strike me as good acquaintances rather than friends. But I doubt that Laurie is vindictive enough to hold a grudge over a twenty-year old addict's behaviour, yet still pretend to be chummy with him on camera.

Also to note, Hugh Laurie doesn't do many Late Night talk shows. Infact in the few years I've been watching, I think I've only even seen him on Craig.
