Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread
Saw Chloe and really enjoyed it (some parts more than others).
Cracked up at the end of the show when Craig said that both women gave him a really *bleeping* hard time, because he was dead on.

I enjoyed that, but I found the reading kind of blunted by the fact that I've heard him address a lot of this material on air over the years. I really do recommend his novel, Between the Bridge and the River. I loved it independent of my appreciation for its author.
That's awesome! Think I might steal that.
My God, yes! That episode was hilarious, as well as painful to watch. I couldn't tell how much of what came out in the interviews was anxiety and how much was narcissism...and in the second interview, just outright rudeness. To borrow from The Sports Guy, I'd say there was a lot of "unintentional comedy" in that episode.

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread
I usually try to watch any talk show that Amanda Seyfried is on, and she's like that with everybody. I think she only started doing them like a month ago.
I saw Chloe, and other than a few scenes I found it rather bland.

Just watched the episode with Mark Harman and I swear that is what Tom Cruise will look like when he older. They have exactly the same laugh.
Also watched the RDJ one and that silence was amazing.

is it just me or was the lighting better back when this show aired then the show does now. I love his storytelling skills. It never seems like he's reading from the prompter

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread
I loved the intro at the beginning:
Craig Ferguson: "Peabody of course was the name given to me when I was at camp."
Craig Ferguson: "A repeat is something you show when it didn't win a Peabody award. When you win the Peabody award, it's an encore performance."
The interview was brilliant. Craig proves why he's the best interviewer on late-night television. The interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu was humbling, moving and funny.
The part about telling your story is so true. When I talk about my clinical depression I find my happiness. When you tell your story it can move others and when you don't hold everything in and you talk about your struggles (like Craig); it makes you stronger.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu: "One of the things about having a dark skin, is that when people say things like you were saying, you don't see that I'm blushing."

I liked that they kept joking about the fact that the interview wasn't taped today.
I'm watching the Seyfried interview. I don't know if she is on something or if she wasn't sure what to expect going into this interview

Geoff Peterson is comedy gold, though. He's worked out far better than I expected.

I noticed the lighting thing too and hubby said 'guess that bulb hadn't burnt out yet' [/no budget joke].

I've found this to be true with my Crohn's disease, as well. The depression and anxiety I only like to discuss in the context of Crohn's; the prevailing sentiment in my community seems to still be that mental/emotional disorders are made-up terms to justify peddling pills to whining babies who can't join "the real world." I've given up trying to be an ambassador for changing that here.
Depression is nothing to be ashamed of and getting help is a great thing. Some people are just so fucking stupid when it comes to issues like this. They have an opinion on something they don't know a damn thing about and haven't done any research.

so hard when Craig was saying Geoff was drunk and they went back and forth talking to each other. Geoff: "I'm cold." 
I loved when Geoff asked Craig if they could check the tweets during the Jon Favreau interview.

NOO!!! Malinky2Stoatir's YouTube account has been suspended and his videos have been removed. That would be fine except CBS takes a week to put the shows online.

Those people are idiots and don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Back on topic, I missed last night's episode 'cause I had to get treatment for another flare yesterday afternoon and I slept for, like, 19 hours. It sounds like Geoff is really coming along, which is great. I love that creepy robot!

Here's a temporary solution.
It's a Letterman site, but if you click "see all," they have Craig videos posted. Wonder how long CBS will let it live?

Yes, Alice Eve is hot, but the interview last night was pretty disjointed. Didn't realize that she was British, she did a good job with the accent in She's Out Of My League.
