Craig Ferguson on UK Gameshows?
« on: February 18, 2006, 03:27:55 PM »
I was googling Ferguson to see what would turn up, and I came across a UK Gameshow page.  This the same guy as the host of the Late Late Show, and if so, what shows has Craig been on?

Perhaps if we knew what page you were looking at, we might possibly be better able to answer these questions.

His IMDB listing says he appeared in Have I Got News for You? and The Brain Drain. It wouldn't surprise me if his resume had several more of those witty-takes-on-the-news UK shows on it.

And yes, it's the same guy.

This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.

My cheeky wee monkeys (WHIP SNAPS)...he's more than Craig Ferguson, he's TV's Craig Ferguson.  Just like Tim McCarver isn't really Tim McCarver, he's Chevrolet's Tim McCarver.  He had the Chevy emblem charred on his arse by Deion Sanders not long after he threw that container of water on him.

On Nov. 15, 1991, to be exact, with the other guest panelist the avuncular anchorman Sir Trevor MacDonald, the Cronkite of the UK.  The "HIGNFY" fan site as a summary of the show:

Their separate listing on him says that they would like to see him back on the show again.  Clips from Ferguson's appearance also seem to be on a "Very Best of HIGFNY" DVD that can only be played in this country on all-region DVD players, most likely.
