Craig is very funny and a huge improvement over that other Craig they had on before.<br \/>\nOne of the things I like about him is that he sometimes slips into a somewhat philosophical mode.  A couple of months ago, he made some jokes about Pat Robertson&#8217;s comments on God telling him there would be a terrorist attack this year.  He then slid right into a couple of serious comments on how you can&#8217;t have certainty and faith at the same time.  Good stuff, actually, watch it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zEN9GFQ2Huo\">here on YouTube<\/a>.<br \/>\nMonday night, however, he didn&#8217;t just make a philosophical comment or two, he spent his entire 12 minute monologue speaking openly and vulnerably about his own life and past.  He confessed that he had perhaps gotten carried away recently in ridiculing celebrities and their problems.<br \/>\nWhat brought this on?  Well, this past weekend marked 15 years for him being sober and it also revealed a young mother of two, Brittney Spears, rather publicly fall apart.  His comments were along the lines that he understood where she was and what she was dealing with and that, although plenty of jokes were being made, frankly, it wasn&#8217;t a laughing matter.<br \/>\nGood stuff, very good considering it&#8217;s late night TV.  Check it out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7bbaRyDLMvA\">here on YouTube<\/a> (CBS doesn&#8217;t allow embedding their videos).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a late owl, I regularly watch Letterman and I love The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson which comes on after.
