Watching as much of the show as I have, I believe that one of the coolest parts about it is that he didn't have to.

I so agree with this. Craig Ferguson and Jon Stewart retired at the right time. I miss them but they deserved to be free and rest.

[@BilalAhmed-xn5pz]

So true.

[@velvetunderpants44]

Thing is though, Craig COULD talk politics if he wanted to. He's a very clever, well-read and informed guy. He's also fucking hilarious! I wonder if it's because people like Billy Connolly, Frankie Boyle and Craig Ferguson come from Scotland- and Glasgow specifically. Scotland (and Ireland) are rain-drenched and can be desolate places. People who live there then tend to need entertainment and a funny perspective. I think that's why there's so many comedians in Scotland and Ireland. Craig is only entertaining people incidentally. Primarily, he's entertaining himself. By the way, all three Glasgow comedians happen to be part Irish.

[@Biggiiful]

@@velvetunderpants44 Craig's seems to be a very centrist guy. An old school liberal. I don't think he'd be happy constantly bagging on Trump every single night for 5 years straight like every other show in existence. He's far too creative for that.

I'd have an instant answer to the most awkward guest and that would be his last interview with Tony Shalhoub (Monk). Honestly, I felt embarrassed for Craig. Tony was acting very strange and took everything Craig threw at him at face value and I remember when Craig was talking about having an awkward pause with his last guest, he said "well I think we've already had one before the break". Never saw Shalhoub back....

[@michelleadams5120]

Yes he did but indirectly. The character of Doc Martin originated in the film Saving Grace, for which Craig was co-writer and starred in. Because of that, he received writer credit in the Doc Martin series. Saving Grace is probably his best known film, and was well received.
