IT'S A GREAT DAY FOR AMERICA EVERYBODY!

Today I’m not gonna talk about my trip or life in Paris, but about one of the most talented Tv host of America, I discovered him two years ago, and now I can’t stop watching his show, even if I’m in France. His shows are really interesting, because, it’s a total mess but he knows exactly what he's doing. I really want to pass one week to see the rehearsal and how he’s doing everything. I study how he’s doing his show in my school, and I have to say after watching lot of Late night shows that he’s the best and if I can do his job, I’ll do it, it’s my dream job, but there is lot of work behind the show, I know it!. So today it’s time to share his talent and to talk about him. By the way, one day I’ll be in his audience, this summer I’m going to LA and I’ll go to see him for sure. I'm a proud member of The Robot Skeleton Army.For those of you who are thinking "What the FUCK is she talking about?" Go watch this show immediately!! This means I am a faithful follower of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and of Craig Ferguson on Twitter. 

To begin this article I’m gonna tell you a little bit about him.

Craig Ferguson has made something of an art of lowering expectations about himself and then sneaking up on his audiences, almost unawares, and worming his way into their heart. He's been unknown a long time so that obscurity has, in a some ways, turned into his greatest asset!!

Craig Ferguson is an actor, comedian, screenwriter, film producer, composer, producer and television host American of Scottish descent, born May 17 (I’m born may 6, coincidences?? Lol), 1962 in Glasgow (Scotland, United Kingdom) and naturalized American in 2008. He leads since 2005 the television show The Late Late Show aired on U.S. network CBS. It gets very prestigious Peabody Award in 2010 for this issue.

Since he's coming into his own on the "The Late Late show with Craig Ferguson" and winning his first Emmy nomination in 2006, He achieved a personal milestone in February 2008 when he was sworn in as a U.S. citizen. Then Craig hosted the White House Correspondents Dinner, where critics raved of his witty and comical deliverance speech to the 3 000 attendees who included political journalists, celebrities, and Washington's power players.

He also wrote two books: a novel, Between the Bridge and the River, and autobiography, American on purpose ( I read it, and it’s pretty good, trust me, this is a book that you should read!). In fall of 2009 Harper Collins is set to publish Craig's memoir, AMERICAN ON PURPOSE, a moving and funny memoir of living the American dream as his trip from a small town in Scotland to the entertainment capital of the world. "It will make you laugh, cry and sing 'The Star Spangled Banner' with a Scottish burr"In April 2006, Craig debuted his first novel entitled "Between the Bridge and the River", which became a critically acclaimed bestseller.

He began his artistic career as a drummer in the rock band Exposure in the late 70's before joining the rock group depunk The Bastards from Hell, later renamed Dreamboy, with whom he performs regularly in Glasgow from 1980 to 1982 . This group was lead singer Peter Capaldi, the same one that prompted Ferguson to become actor. 

In March 1990, he debuted on TV on Granada Television in the Craig Ferguson Show with Paul Whitehouse and Helen Atkinson-Wood. But this show entertainment sketches did not meet his public and stopped the driver. 

During the filming of Drew Carey Show, Ferguson spent his free time between each scene to write. He wrote and starred in three films The Big Tease, Saving Grace ( I saw this movie, really awesome) and I'll Be There, a film he also directed and for which he received the Audience Award at the Aspen Festival. "I'll Be There" Went there to Receive the Audience Award for Best Film at the Aspen, Dallas, and Valencia film festivals. Craig was also named "Best new director" at the Napa Valley Film Festival. Ferguson's other film credits include "Niagara Motel", "Lenny the Wonder Dog", "Prendimi l'anima", "Life Without Dick", "Chain of Fools", "Born romantic" and "The Big Tease". 

Craig Ferguson also serves on the board of the Lollipop Theater Network. The mission of the Lollipop Theater Network is to bring movies that are currently in theatrical release to hospitalized children facing chronic and life threatening illness nation wide.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, a talk show that everyone love!

During his talk show, he talks about lot of stuff, celebrities, personal stuff...

And one day he said: "I haven't had a drink in thirteen years", he said on the "Late Late show with Craig F." (2005) on February 1, speaking about his alcoholism."But occasionally, I'm tempted to have one beer. The problem is that if I have the one beer, I wake up in Tijuana four days later with a tattoo and a sore ass!". He always make jokes about himself, and this is why we love him, and that made him more closer of us. 

During his show, he always opens his monologues by saying "It's a great day for America, everybody" and he always smacks the side of the teleprompter on the camera at the beginning of his monologues. He tears the card with questions to shreds and tosses it as he begins each interview. And of course he use his fucking awesome humor. (Yeah I said it!)

DOES THIS NEED TO BE SAID??

" I wanna try something I don't normally do... I'm going to try to tell you a joke"

"I promise, I'm going to get to this joke..."

In "Craig Ferguson: Does This Need to be Said?", filmed at Nashville's Polk Theatre, Craig tackles everything from profanity and celebrity to politics and culture. It is the first of those things that provides the largest laughs.

What a rogue this Craig! From a meager upbringing on the mean streets of Scotland, to cheeky talk show host-turned proud American citizen, Craig Ferguson couldn't care more, but not give a damn less at the same time. His new stand up special, Does This need to be said?" 

The most charming bastard you could find ( yes I'm talking like Craig!), exploits his freedom on the stand up stage in Nashville, his ability to swear fills him with particular glee "Fuck, fuck, fuckity, fuck". He even jokes about his son having a swear box that he often pays. Moreover, it's seems that Kate Winslet is a fat bitch. Well not really, but Craig has to dish celebrity dirt to stay employed (What a great job). In this uproarious performance, we gets a glimpse of what happens when a late night host is faced with dealing with the celebrities in the real world. (Craig we support you!)

The show ended with a reenact by Ferguson, Saladin and Arnold of the infamous Britney Spears "Oops I Did It Again"

I have to tell that it’s impossible to not enjoy someone who have this humor. Ferguson not only enjoys being able to say whatever he wants, he also enjoys sharing his wry observations with the audiance.  Craig ferguson's standup is kind of his Late Late Show monologues but much spicier and his energy and humour are so great that you can't take your eyes off him. There's a good reason why he's the King of the Late night television and everyone who saw his shows knows exactly why.

Craig Ferguson and French people! The King came to our city!

The american audiences may know that emerged in December that Arthur (one of my favorite French Tv host, I have to say that, so I'm pretty proud of what happened, and I went twice to his show Ce soir avec Arthur and I can say that it's one of the most awesome show at the moment in France), a stand-up comedian whose real name is Jacques Essebag, had borrowed a great deal from "The Late Late show". Craig invited his imitator to appear alongside him in Los Angeles. On Ferguson's reciprocal visit, he performed a monologue in French and disco danced with Arthur.

Arthur said:
"He inspires me, but my show has nothing in common with his show" Arthur said and adding "I don't have the same sense oh humor."

For his sixth year as host of "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" on CBS, Craig wanted to try something new, so he has swapped his Los Angeles studio for the more awesome décor of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, he played not to ticket-holding audience members, but passers-by in Montmartre (we can see the street where I live! This is awesome, I'm telling you guys I proud!)

"This is the first time in the history of this show that we've been allowed outside" Craig joked on the air before the trip. "Historically, when Americans don't know what to do next, they go to Paris. Benjamin Franklin is like: "What am I going to do now? I'll go to Paris!"

Craig Ferguson is unfortunately unknown in France, I have to say here in France, talk shows are often regarded as an American concept and we only have one show like that in France, it's Ce soir avec Arthur (So thanks Arthur for that).  

The first days of filming in Paris were something of frenzy, with Ferguson and his team filmed among a dozen of the city's monuments and tourist havens, including the Eiffel Tower and the Moulin Rouge. I have to admit that one of my favorite part is when he's dancing in the Moulin Rouge, he was freaking funny. 

If you're an American talk-show host who discovers your late-night program in Los Angeles is being copied by an imitator nearly 6 000 miles away in Paris. You could write threatening letters in hopes that your doppelganger finds new material. Or you could do what Craig did and invite your copycat into your show. This is WHY Craig is a genius!

So here is a long article about a man who inspire me everyday, and I never gonna stop watching his show, I'm telling you i'm addicted to this show! He just makes my days. By the way I always studying his shows at my school (I'm a student in a school for medias, and I'm studying American medias). So Craig never stop to make us laugh, you have a gift! So never stop to shine! In January I'm leaving Paris for New York, I'm gonna live my American dream during 6 months, maybe I'll do my internship in CBS who knows?! And this summer I'm going to LA, so I'll do my best to be in the audience! So Craig be ready!! and to conclude this article , IT'S A GREAT DAY FOR AMERICA!
