Craig Ferguson

This is basically what I am trying for all the time when I open my mouth, for better or worse. If I can learn to preach like Craig Ferguson does this monologue, I'll be done.

great monologue. Unusual. Will he keep his job?

That must have been a while ago. That whole Britney Spears thing was a couple years back wasn't it?

Great delivery. Didn't travel far enough for my tastes, but excellent delivery.

It was from a while ago. I've just realized that Craig Ferguson is my public-speaking-hero, so I'm going backwards through his work. After an interview with him on NPR, I really like how he approaches being a semi-celebrity.

What's not to like, he's hilarious, and scottish to boot!

I get to see him live when he comes to Denver on a comedy tour in January! Yay!

EL: You're doubly lucky. I've seen some of his earlier standup, when he was still drinking, and it isn't that good. Now, though, I think he's incredible.

Have you heard the NPR interview with him? It's really what sold me on watching him overall.
