bigstickbonzo Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 That's right.. I never watch his show because I don't particularly find him that appealing. He was good on "The Drew Carey Show" back in the 1990s but as a late night talk show host, I don't see it. Then again, Carson Daly has his own show which begs the question of actual talent anymore. So anyway, my cousin has been telling me how much funnier Ferguson is compared with Conan, who I usually watch if I'm up and around the tube. So, for a brief second last night, I switched to Ferguson on CBS. He was in the middle of telling a joke about Page, referring to him "Back in the 1970s having a love for Satan. What a douche!" My cousin, a die hard Zep Head, said he must have been making fun of the fact that Plant won't do a reunion or along those lines. I couldn't believe it, the one time I watch..5 seconds into it, he cracks on Page. Just wanted to know if anyone else caught it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashmir330 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Fuck him!! I hate that guy anyway. I always watch Letterman of a night and then Conan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireOpal Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I don't understand the thread title. Anyway, this is a bit surprising if true. Ferguson's humour isn't usually mean-spirited at all, he doesn't attack and insult people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The poster is making no correlation between Robert and Satan. It sounds like Ferguson was riffing on the news that Zeppelin isn't reforming and alluding that Plant has no interest in such a thing because of Page's involvement in the supernatural. Maybe he's been reading Mick Wall's book which obsesses so much on Crowley that we end up knowing how many polyps were in his colon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 We don't actually know what Ferguson said because BSB only caught part of it, so there doesn't seem much future in analyzing it. (And just to prove I have too much time on my hands, I googled it out of curiosity.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Because there is such a connection between Satan and Robert. I back handed him for that one because it was silly..almost as silly as me writing it in this thread where it has little importance to the subject of discussion, but as said, I'm assuming it was Ferguson talking about the tour. We don't actually know what Ferguson said because BSB only caught part of it, so there doesn't seem much future in analyzing it. (And just to prove I have too much time on my hands, I googled it out of curiosity.) Yeah, I googled it myself hoping to catch the full bit. I made the thread to clarify...

ninelives Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Thank god us in the UK dont get him, sounds like yet another gobby wannabe gobshite. He's actually quite funny as well as having a really good rapport with his guests. I'd rather watch him than Letterman who I think at this point needs to retire. You should check him out before dismissing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltypete Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I saw the whole thing and I was wondering if anyone would think it important enough to post about.Actually I was surprised that the whole opening monologue was about Robert Plant not wanting to tour with zeppelin(or something to that effect).He mentioned that Robert was a guest on his show and how polite he was-hardly the wildman from the 70's. It was all good really.He said in a nice way how he grew up on their music and a replacement would not be the same.Too bad you tuned in to the "satan" comment....it was the only attack really.The whole monologue was on the topic...very unusual. Maybe hard up for content perhaps,I donno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Masson Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Oh, I actually noticed this guy when I was looking at Youtube videos once. He introduced a fabulous performance by Duffy on his show. I thought he was a bit funny. MERCY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's Scottish, so I'm surprised you haven't seen him at some point. I actually like him quite a bit, and I admired him when he said he was going to stop making Britney Spears jokes when her situation had gone past being funny and was just sad.

I actually like him quite a bit, and I admired him when he said he was going to stop making Britney Spears jokes when her situation had gone past being funny and was just sad. That was really admirable what he did. He also did a really touching tribute to his father when he passed away as his opening monologue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisy may Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Conan used to be my fave until I was flipping through the channels during commercials and found Craig. He is now my favorite and his humor is original and hillarious. Especially his stand-up work. If he made a rude comment about Jimmy in a mean way that's one thing. But being his usual crazy self, he probably meant for it to sound rude but just a joke. I didn't see it so I'm not aware of his dimeaner at the time. (facial expresions and wierd little sayings). That gives him away totally. I'll look for it on the web. Hope he wasn't really putting jimmy down......OR ELSE!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy may Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Just watched it. That was totally craig! He was talking a good deal about Zeppelin in a positive way. Throwing in a few jokes about Roberts age. Pretty funny. He didn't diss Jimmy. If he did than he dissed Robert when joking about his age. You can watch the full episode if you want to see it for yourself and then decide. Go to: The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson The show to watch was on Jan. 07, 2009. It's worth a watch.

ro_a Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Pot Kettle Black. Of course Craig's douchiness is satirical in nature (he just plays one on t.v), and mostly begs not to be taken seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
