The fact that Ferguson went over to the US and became a celeb is really headfucking for those of us who remember the years he spent as a largely unknown but pretty funny comedian in the UK.― If You Lived Here You'd Be SB'd By Now (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 27 May 2009 20:08 (2 months ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

.. who totally nicked his act from Jerry Sadowitz until lawyers had a word with Jerry, and he had to stop saying that, so would instead describe him as a huge talent etc, in sarcastic ways.
fwiw, they are both scottish, and were somewhat similar in style.
My guess is that after Sadowitzgate, Craig left the UK to make it big in the US, and, um, did!

I do like how everyone on the show just lets their natural accent rip. Jennifer Tilly was just on and launched full on into her highspeed Southern voice, to the point where she sounded like Katy Mixon(from Eastbound & Down) on wayyyyyy too much caffiene.

the only thing i've ever seen this guy in is a trailer for a movie where he's a hairdresser from about 15 years ago, i think.

I knew from that moment I was on this guy's side. I just didn't always get to watch his show.
He was in fine form tonight, though!

This sounds like a disaster in the making.
http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/craig-ferguson-in-final-negotiations-with-tribune-for-7-p-m-syndicated-talkshow-exclusive-1201283991/
Craig Ferguson is in final negotiations with Tribune Media to host a daily syndicated half-hour talkshow that would air in the 7 p.m. hour across Tribune Broadcasting’s 42 stations.
The show is targeted to bow in the fall of 2015. It’s expected that Michael Naidus, exec producer of CBS’ “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” will be on board as showrunner of the show that will blend comedy and talkshow elements. The intent is to rev up the hour leading into primetime with the Ferguson yakker paired at 7:30 p.m. with a prime sitcom rerun a la “Two and a Half Men” or “The Big Bang Theory.”
Reps for Tribune Media and Ferguson declined to comment.

Man, the guy who does the voice for Geoff was off last night, so Geoff's unanimated skeleton was just standing there, no glow in the eyes, all episode and I realized that he's at least half of (if not more than half of) the reason I like the show. Give that gay skeleton robot his own gig!

Tom Lennon was a good Geoff fill-in years ago.

Josh Robert Thompson, the voice of Geoff Peterson, is apparently launching a new show (though when and where it will air is unclear).

So Ferguson's new show Join or Die manages to turn the concept of Deadliest Warrior from a guilty pleasure into, uh, regular pleasure.
