		Craig Ferguson steps confidently over shattered car window glass and street garbage as he makes his way to a fl stretch limousine parked incongruously in the alley behind the Edinburgh Castle Pub.
		In his first 18 months, Ferguson has gained a devoted fan base that loves his unscripted monologues, breezy irreverence and candor -- he is always forthcoming about his struggles with divorce, alcoholism and being a part-time parent to his 5-year-old son.
		Ferguson's comedic forte is his spontaneity with an audience; earlier in the evening he invited the Edinburgh Castle audience to pepper him with questions.

	Is Craig Ferguson as good as Conan? - TV Squad
		You can tell Craig is at ease in front of the camera every time he delivers one of his patented monolouges, which early on evolved from a series of bad jokes into a combination of observation and storytelling that definitely plays to Ferguson's comedic strengths.
		And, the new Craig seems to be fairly adept at interviews, as well; he's engaged and interested in his guests and doesn't look like he's looking for an opportunity to slip in a self-serving joke, as Conan always seems to be doing.
		Craig is much better than Conan, and I think his ratings might even surpass Conan's in the next year...he's closing in on him.

		Craig is a natural comedian, a great mimic and has a broad repertoire of accents other than his own Scottish brogue.
		Craig Ferguson starred in the excellent comedic films “Saving Grace” and “The Big Tease” and also played Drew Carey’s drunken boss Nigel Wick on “The Drew Carey Show” from 1996-2003.
		I have to admit that Craig often has trouble staying on track with the questions he asks his guests because if he’s not laughing, they are and neither of them can concentrate.

	Late Night Raises The Burr (washingtonpost.com)
		Craig Ferguson is sitting in his tidy office at CBS's Television City several hours before the taping of his nightly show (or "the shoo," as he calls it), talking about growing up in the small town of Cumbernald, just outside Glasgow, Scotland.
		His predecessor, Craig Kilborn, hosted for five seasons, and it was fine as far as it went, except for Kilborn's slight, bratty chilliness -- it was too frat-boy, Kilborn's detractors said.
		Ferguson talks about his ex-wife (they are friendly; she runs a Pilates center and lives two doors from his house, and went with him to Clive Davis's Grammy party) and his 4-year-old son, Milo (he shares custody).

		NEW YORK -- Craig Ferguson doesn't fit the mold of the typical late-night talk show host -- and doesn't plan to be.
		When he got the call to step in as one of the guest hosts to possibly replace Craig Kilborn, Ferguson was putting the finishing touches on something decidedly un-show-businesslike: a dark comedic novel that doesn't yet have a publisher.
		Ferguson acknowledges that his varied experiences are going to serve him well in his new job, although he is quick to point out that he hasn't done standup in 10 years.
