Tossers.
You would laugh, if it wasn't so sad.
Pisses me off the way people are taking it at face value.

Really is stupid how papers can stir up controversy out of light hearted banter, or even imagined "reading between the lines" comments and people will buy it.
And I love his version of the Late Night War, with Jimmy Fallon. I be the Doctor would love it if most intergalactic conflicts went like this:

Ferguson has a running joke that his show is poorly produced and under funded. While talking about current events, his staff will intentionally put up a wrong photo for reference. For example, when talking about Paul McCartney, a photo of Angela Lansbury will appear (As they get older they look disturbingly similar in photos). When the film Secretariat was released, media people began talking about the horse in hushed tones like it could do complex math and cure cancer, so it was ripe for a jab. When talking about the film in his monologue, Ferguson would say, "Do we have video of Secretariat?" and the show would cut to a Youtube video of two guys in an awful horse costume in a parking lot set to silly music. Soon after, he started having the emails and tweets segment of his show be interrupted by two guys in a similar costume set to the same music while he gets up and dances. Sometimes he'll do this two or three times in a single segment. Lately, he's taken to doing it while guests are on, and they usually get up and dance, too. Afterward, guests sometimes remark that they have no idea what just happened.
It's a bit of a cheap Vaudvillian laugh, but it works.
I reneber the "Daily Show, Colbert Report, Conan" late night war, it was tideous in the extreme, and I only ever saw the Daily Show parts.
Manonthewave if that works for him fine, im not keen.
To be fair, they weren't allowed to have writers, so they weren't sure what else to do

Yeah. Taking anything said on Craig Ferguson seriously is a big mistake. According to that show, Craig Ferguson is a gay transvestite porn star! The robot is also gay! How can a robot without genitals be gay!?!?
I am guessing the answer "not go on air" is too easy.To be fair, they weren't allowed to have writers, so they weren't sure what else to do
They could have had wars between Daily Show staff, or at least confine it to Comedy Central, why drag Conan into it?
Yeah I'm sure he hated it and had no choice.
Because Conan has a sense of humor?I am guessing the answer "not go on air" is too easy.To be fair, they weren't allowed to have writers, so they weren't sure what else to do

And he knows what is best in life.
To crush your competition, see them driven off the air, and to hear the lamentations of their fans?
That is good!
I thought it was fun, not much more than a meet and greet for the audience. The espresso machine comment about the Dalek was funny.
Geoff has genitals but they're stuck in customs.

Stewart and Colbert were in a very bad position during the Writer's Strike. Contractually, they had to appear on their shows, writers or no. I don't know if Stewart and Colbert wrote for themselves; they're also WGA members, and writing, even for themselves, was a violation of the strike terms. (Jay Leno's position was that he was allowed to write for himself, but others, like Conan, didn't feel that way.) But not putting on a show wasn't an option when Comedy Central said, basically, "Jon? Stephen? You owe us some content, guys, or you're in breach of contract."I am guessing the answer "not go on air" is too easy.To be fair, they weren't allowed to have writers, so they weren't sure what else to do
Also, as they pointed out, the production staff (people besides writers) weren't getting paid and had nothing to benefit from the strike. I believe they had some pretty set rules where they could discuss general subjects to talk about, but they couldn't write down a single line of his monologue.

I didn't even see this. You know why the Daily Mail has this, right? Because Smith mumbles IN the interview that "the mail" will "pick this up". That's the ONLY reason that rag gave it a shot. Anything for a buck, it's the same world over.
