I suppose what I appreciate the most is his completely natural sense of mischief. I also crack up at his politically incorrect rants in which his indignation at the hypocritical foibles of politicians, religious leaders and stars who are too full of themselves tumbles out in fast and furious, yet completely understandable, honesty and truth. His "hands off Britney" was touching, and his tribute to his dad made me just plain proud of him.

Watching him take the citizenship oath also made ME proud to be an American. For him, that day was NOT something to be made light of. I could see in his demeanor how very important it was for him to become a citizen of this somewhat bent, but also great, country.

I so look forward to LLS every night, but on the off chance I slip off to dreamland before it comes on at 12:30 am, the show is ALWAYS taped so I don't miss anything. Craig Ferguson is simply a kick.

Also read his book and bought "Saving Grace." Loved them both. He was also my FAVORITE character on the Drew Carey show. Sorry, Drew.

Oh, if only our politicians could look at themselves through Craig's eyes.

My sympathies to Scotland for losing him as a citizen. Hooray for OUR gain! Go Craig!!!! God Bless You and Milo.

Craig Ferguson tickles all my fancies. It's fabulous to know that so many other people truly appreciate how fabulous this man is! I actually attended a taping of his show just recently, in January, and you can hear me laughing louder than anyone else. He cracked a joke at my laugh at the end of the monologue, then came over during the commercial break to poke more fun at me! Then someone in the production team came over and asked me to keep it down a little, so I felt terrible. But during the very next commercial break, Craig came back over to me and asked why he hadn't heard me laughing that time around! He got a little upset when he heard I was asked to be quiet, so I got a LLS show mug. LOL! I don't use any other mug now. I don't even think it's fair to compare the other talk show hosts to Craig; no one could possibly stand up to his charisma and genuine line of humor. And no one else is quite the sex bomb as he is. I've read his book, seen his movies (Saving Grace was really fantastic!), and my next step is to see him performing live, without any tv censors filtering out that beautiful lilting voice. And now the White House Correspondence dinner? Craig, you filthy pigeon, I truly honestly love you. They just don't make men like that anymore.</p> <p><3</p> Oh God.

He makes me laugh and brightens my night. My father was from Inverness Scotland with an accent similar to Craig's. It brings back many fond memories of my childhood. Don't ever lose it!!! If you ever come to Rochester, I will be in the audience. I admire you for sharing your feelings on the death of your Dad, and I know he was very proud of you and your accomplishments. PS: You are easy on the eyes too!!</p> I happened on the Craig Ferguson's show over a year ago and I haven't missed one yet, even the reruns. He makes me laugh and brightens my night.

Watching him play with his teasing and joking around is so much pleasure that I hate for Saturday and Sunday to come because he is not on t v then. He makes others feel so comfortable when he talks to them, you can see it on their face. I hope he never decides to leave the show. He is best when he portrays others but love watching him adlib.
