Scottish late-night tv host, who also acts and writes novels. The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson can be seen at 12:35/11:35c on CBS, after Letterman.

Despite not having a band or "A-list" guests, Craig is consistently funny 5 days a week, with improvised monologues, puppets, viewer emails, and sketches. He frequently does sketches about Sean Connery, Michael Caine, and Prince Charles.

Craig has also been in The Drew Carey Show, and has written two novels: Between The Bridge and the River, and his autobiography American on Purpose, which comes out on September 22, 2009.

In my opinion, the best late-night tv show out there.

Jul 26 Word of the Day
Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed
I got a call from X the other night. She had an extra ticket to a concert she bought for a friend, but they couldn’t make it so she called me to ask if I wanted to go because I am her Second String Friend.
