fakemaster Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I don't find him funny at all. But he's definitely better than the guy who took over for Conan. It's painful. Like watching paint dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demsey Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Craig Fersuson is Scottish, and therefore merely has to 'be' to be awesome. Pho, you should try and Goooogle his Comedy Central stand-up on YouTube. He touches on subjects about his personal life and 'coming to America' that are surprising. Good stuff. "When I first arrived in America as a teen I couldn't get over the 'colours'. Of everything. In Scotland 'damp' is a colour." I always liked him on the Drew Carey show as well. "As 'Mr. Wick' on the show, to anyone who had ever been to England or has known an English person, my faux English accent was horrible. That was my payback to America for James Doohan's accent as 'Scottie' on 'Star Trek'. Growing up in Scotland, and watching the program on television, 'Scott' was the only chararcter no one could ever understand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I love South Park. The new pirate episode is a must-watch. I never laughed so hard since the original "Borat" on UK TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems weird watching him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Small world! I have to say, his confessions of being an alcoholic (well, that could happen to anyone ) and doper were surprising. I would have to say he's done well to dig himself out of all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkBachs Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Some of Craig's skits are a little lame, but I'd take him any day over Conan, whom I don't find funny at all. Craig is real, where Conan seems so self important that none of what he says is amusing. I'd rather throw salt in my eyes than watch his show.

Demsey Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yeah, Ferguson seems a good sort. I will agree too that some of his material is weak, but no matter, the former will carry him. He's likeable. Charismatic. I'm like that with music too, not a real fan of Springsteen's music, but I have gone to his shows, I like him. I support him. I am a fan of Conan. He does have a self deprecating style. That's his schtick; a narcissist who continually puts himself down before others have a chance to. So if they do, they look foolish. He wrote some great stuff for SNL. That's really where his talent lies. I'd rather throw salt in my eyes Yes, well, that's the beauty of the States. No matter how you define 'entertainment', it's all available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
