Ferguson On Top!

Jimmy Fallon better find a way to grab his younger viewers' attention, because he is slowly losing his audience to Craig Ferguson.

According to the ratings from last week, Craig pulled ahead of Jimmy in the 18-49 demo. Considering that no one over 40 actually watches Jimmy's show, that's really bad!

Will Craig continue his stride and leave Jimmy at the bottom of the late-night talk show pool?

Possibly.

Jimmy better get a move on with that Save By The Bell reunion!

The Late Late Show Went Dark!

The city of Los Angeles doesn't really know how to prepare for any extreme weather conditions, but it sure makes for interesting television!

Winds last night were pretty treacherous for anyone out on the road and it found some people sitting in the dark due to power outages - including us!!!

The audience at the The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson had the joy of watching the Scot host by flashlight after the studio blacked out around 5:45 p.m.

Craig was just in the middle of his interview with Alicia Silverstone, when the lights went out and they were forced to go to commercial. They thought they had caught a break when the lights came back on, but then they went out again.

Actually, we think we like the show better this way!

Watch a clip from last nights very dark broadcast (above)!

Craig Ferguson Defends Letterman!

It's gotta be hard to address a scandal involving your own boss, but Craig Ferguson has done us proud!

The comedian discussed the awkward situation during Monday's monologue of his Late Late Show, in which he asked the audience to "put yourself in my position."

Speaking of David Letterman's extortion and adultery woes, Ferguson says: "The person you work for, the person you admire and respect, is caught in an embarrassing situation." said Ferguson, whose show is produced under Dave's Worldwide Pants banner. "And your job is to be funny about that, whilst trying to keep your own job."

"So this is my last show," he joked.

Ferguson did make light of the situation, but doesn't claim to be a saint either! The comic just released a memoir about his struggle with alcoholism.

"If we are now holding late-night talk show hosts to the same moral accountability as we hold politicians or clergymen, I'm out," he said. "I quite like my entertainers to be dangerous. I like my musicians to be kind of drug-fueled. Cause if you want entertainers to be squeaky clean, then who are you going to be watching? Jonas Brothers."

Point taken!

Watch the clip (above) to see the HIGHlarity for yourself!

Quote Of The Day

"The format is tired and it is old. I'm another middle aged white guy telling jokes on TV in a suit. And that's tired. I want to mess with it."
