And we won't be seeing it in Dallas thanks to continuing Thunderstormageddon '011™ coverage.

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

Holy crap that Las Vegas video was one of the funniest things ever. Comedic genius. From Grant to Osmond To the Carrot Top Drugscapade. Classic. That better become one of the Internet viral videos with a billion views, or people are insane. If SNL's digital shorts get so many viral hits, this has to top them by a mile. Just wow.

And Bell was an awesome interview as always. This is such a great show. I used to watch the other Craig way back when, and have tried all the late night shows over the past twenty years, and this show, right now, is the best by a mile in decades. How he gets away with is stuff on network tv is amazing, and that's what makes it all the better. That Vegas video, for starters, I can't imagine it airing on CBS, yet it makes it past the censors somehow. Awesome.

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

I missed most of the monologue and the beginning of the Vegas video (thank you, stupid guts) but I caught enough of Vegas and all of Kristen Bell that I loved it. When Geoff slammed Kristen by ticking down to the end of her segment, I laughed harder than I have at anything in a long time. That robot skeleton has really evolved into something great.

Another great KB interview, but I honestly had no idea Cheadle was in Hotel For Dogs.

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

I've always wondered if Geoff was voiced by someone off set, or if all of his lines are pre programed in, since he was very talkable last night (much more then usual)

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

I'm pretty sure certain nights that the voice of Geoff is actually in the building, like last night and the time with Don Rickles. I think most of the time it's a pre-recorded tape or something.

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

So is Geoff fully "live" (ie. the guy doing the voice is standing offstage responding to Craig) now, as opposed to just triggering his set pre-programmed lines?

According to his Twitter feed on the 14th Geoff had a:

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

I'm not sure how I feel about a possible "live" Geoff every night. But the line he said to Kristen Bell towards the end of her segment was hysterical!

And the Vegas bit was awesome!

Re: The Craig Ferguson Appreciation Thread

I agree about mixed feelings on "live" Geoff. He could be really funny with certain guests like Kristen the other night, but I love the awkwardness of the random canned comments he makes.

The Vegas bit was one of the best things I've ever seen. Even if it was essentially just a copy of The Hangover, Craig just makes it seem entirely original and I just love the weird ensemble of characters he uses (Geoff, Sid, Wavey, Carrot Top, the Leprachaun) just gold stuff.

OK, after Diane Lane's awkward pause, they need to retire it. No one will ever beat that.

"Then I watch people play sports. You know whenever I see the Olympics or any kind of athletic thing.
