CBS The Late Late Show w/ CRAIG FERGUSON - 10 Sept 2009: Craig Devotes Entire Monologue To Schooling Joe Wilson

Craig Ferguson, a man who chose to become a U.S. citizen, was ashamed last night at the lack of decorum Representative Joe Wilson showed when shouting, "You lie" at the president during a joint session of Congress.

"I am not getting on Congressman Wilson's case for disagreeing with the president...every congressman has a vote, he should use it, but not in the middle of a speech to the joint sessions of Congress, that's not when you do it. It's not the Jerry Springer Show. You don't stand up in the middle of Congress and go 'oh no you did not.' What the hell is wrong with you? He said his emotions got the better of him--sometimes I want to have sex with a hooker but I don't."

Craig also suggested the president's response to Wilson was boring and that he should take his act on the road to learn how to deal with hecklers.

especially if you're on the receiving end!:evilgrin:

addressing 9/11 at the very start of last night's show. His opening segment was regarding 9/11, they went to commercial, played the theme song, then he was back to being Craig.

The puppets, they lip synching, the skits...can't picture anyone else in late night pulling it off. Plus, he's incredibly quick witted, energetic, and smart as hell! He really does a great job!

is the archetype for the Springer audience.
