Larry King interviews on Conan and Craig provided a good contrast. On Craig, Ferguson actually pushed Larry to do the whole show after Larry interviewed him. On Conan, when the second guest was on, Conan felt the need to get back into the spotlight when Larry was asking the question to the second guest.
I don't think I really agree with that though. Conan seems like one of the last people in the business that would have a big ego or be yearning for spotlight. I think it's more he likes to do things by the book and keep the flow of the show going. I think it's been his weak point throughout most of his career though that his interviews aren't always the best. It just seems like some people he's really comfortable with and some it seems like he feels he has to stick to the main points of the interview and that's about all. His comedy bits are really what makes the show and I know some people don't like it but I enjoy his monologue just for the way he delivers his lines.

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

Missed part of Craig on Conan, but yeah, I was pretty underwhelmed. Whether it was how tired Craig was or a result of being on Conan, not a fan at all of that part.

Loved the show last night, though. Emily Blunt was a fun interview. (Especially with all the wood innuendo.) Being hot, even if not dressed all that hot, didn't hurt either!

And Dr. Kara Cooney.... I hadn't seen her previous appearance(s?) on the show, but she was a pretty good interview too/very interested in conversation. And being kinda cute only helped things along!

The Lex Schrapnel thing could be great!

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

Craig: "I got you a Valentine, Geoff." Geoff "Sex party!"

Craig: "Man! Look a bit ruffled. I look as I I've been having some kind of sexy adventure backstage. I was having a sexy adventure and I was the only one there!"

Craig: "I was actually nominated for a spoken word Grammy. I didn't win. At least I don't think I've won. I haven't checked yet."

Craig: "There's a lot of different St. Valentine's and no one can seem to agree what one the day's named after but that's according to Wikipedia. According to Wikipedia I had my left testicle replaced w/ a potato. Which is ridiculous. It wasn't a potato. It was a tomato."

Craig: "King Henry the 8th starting Valentine's Day is like Michael Vick starting PETA or is like Woody Allen starting take your daughter to work day. It's like Mel Gibson starting Hanukkah. It doesn't make sense!"

Geoff: "I love meth."

My wife ordered me a kangaroo-testicle key-chain for Valentine's Day.

It is pretty fucking hilarious.

I can't believe how much it cost.

Sid: "A lot of people say to me oh, fuck! A talking rabbit but a lot of other people say, Craig. I mean Sid. Oh, fuck!"

Craig: "That's enough. The sooner you stop that phony crap the sooner we can get on w/ the phony crap you came here to see. That's right. America's biggest phony is back everybody."

Craig: "Scientists can't predict when St. Helens is going to erupt. It's kinda like the Oscars. Everyone watches it cause they know it's going to blow it just don't know when."

Geoff: "Let's check out these fine sponsors...biiotch!" Craig: "For a moment there I thought you turned into a corporate hoar then ya undercut me w/ your edgy comedy." Geoff: "Zombies!"

William Shatner was hilarious as always.

Anyone know how tall Gillian Jacobs is? I didn't realize that she was short.

Sid: "Are you an actual lesbian or are you just pretending to be one to get a good seat."

Sid: "I want you to spread the word amongst the heterosexual community that lesbian row is for genuine lesbians only."

Sid: "Gay men you get special seating here. Right down at the front. I don't want men coming here pretending to be gay just to get a good seat. Which I'd suspect would happen less."

Craig: "Kim Jong-il of North Korea. Birthday today. 70 years old. (Audience awwws) awww is right yeah. You awwd Kim Jong-il. You should've been here for Hitler day."

Craig: "CBS cares just not about this fucking show. Now they're doing repeats of the show while I'm actually doing a real show."

Sarah Chalke

Sid: "Did I just hear 1 person. 1 person who clapped. Once. I mean that's not even helping! Just weird. People will just thing something's gone wrong w/ the television."

Craig: "Thanks. Please everybody sit down, relax I know you're tired after that completely genuine outpouring of emotion. You must be exhausted to be so thrilled at some douche in a suit. Man you must go into a bank and just lose your mind."

Craig: "It's a great day for America but not such a great day for one of the more powerful Americans, Oprah. Michael Vick was supposed to be her 1st guest but he cancelled which is bad news for Oprah but good news for her 2nd guest; the winner of the Westminster dog show."

Craig: "btw 2nd year in a row the Westminster dog show was won by a Scottish dog. Take that, bitches."

Craig: "They gave the computer a million bucks for winning Jeopardy last night and the computer spent the money the only way it knows how; hookers, blow and motor oil."

Craig: "btw if you don't know what the Dr. Who convention is fuck you!"

I want to watch that, but I've got no clue what EPIX is so I'm assuming I don't get that channel.

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

Craig: "Thank you. Sit down everybody. Relax. Contrary to what the warm up man may have told you; you have in fact not won anything. There is no chocolate, there is no free chicken, there is no t-shirt, hat, no refrigerator, no beautiful model, no band, no talent, nothing!"

Craig: "I know I'm not good but gosh darn it I'm relatable."

Craig: "See thanks to the internet musicians can send out brand new music and athletes can send out brand new pictures of their penis."

Craig: "Compact Discs are obsolete too. I download all my music now. I would never download illegally cause I don't know how to do it."

Craig: "He (Justin Bieber) could perhaps go through the Elvis period. Perhaps he'll go through a fat period. Make some bad movies. Baby, baby, baby, baby back ribs."

Craig: "You've probably come for some advice on how to make your marriage work. Alright, number 1; try not to drink yourself into a blackout condition every night."

Craig: "That's like an Australian bartender tell you you've had to much to drink. Which actually happened to me. This bar made said you've had a bit to much to drink. I was like how dare you. Then I stopped drinking shortly after that. Well a couple of years."

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

Great interview with Forest.

Craig: "I usually meet the studio audience first to try and get my stuff back."

Craig: "The audience awwed me which means they're now my enemies."

Craig: "I have very, very, very, very bad news. It's still me."

Craig: "It was a great day at the white house. Earlier today the white house they hosted a concert to celebrate the Motown sound and do you know who the featured performer was? Nick Jonas. Nothing says Motown like a Jonas brother. Next week the white house salutes rap music with a special performance by Regis Philbin."

Craig: "The space shuttle like everyone else in Florida; at retirement age. Not retired like Brett Faaavraaa. It won't unretire in a few years and start texting pictures of his booster rocket."
