Talk about being under-appreciated.

For years Craig had to produce his hilarious talk show in a shabby studio. He had to soldier on with a leaky roof and blackouts. Finally he's getting some respect; he has a better studio and finally gets a live band. I'm not a fan of Bon Jovi but I'll admit that Richie Sambora has added some punch to the proceedings.

Btw what's become of Beth the hot CBS Executive?

Craig has a way with the ladies. Here he is with Sarah Shahi - Tony Soprano's hottest guma.

I like his stand up comedy routines but the show ... not so much. I think the inclusion of a puppet as a co-host instead of a real funny person made me feel like I was watching a new version of Sesame Street. Very dumb

That wasn't really an exec, it was actress Dana Delorenzo doing that bit. Haven't seen her for a while, guess that they scrapped that idea. Not sure what the point of having an actress playing a pretend exec on the show was in the first place, other than a bit of eye candy.

Of all the late night acts, Ferguson is my favourite. The show is so bad it is good :) I actually find Ferguson and Fallon more entertaining than Letterman and Leno. It will be interesting to see how ratings are once Kimmel moves to an earlier slot to go head to head against Letterman and Leno.

Wait, so Bon Jovi just played one night for Ferguson, or is this a full-time gig??

No, it was just Richie Sambora and his his own backup band (from his own side project). They did a whole week of shows with him earlier this month (Dec 3. to Dec. 7). It was actually a pretty good pairing (Sambora was actually funny at times), but the show suffered a teeny bit, IMHO, by having to feature Sambora playing and promo-ing his own tracks at the end of every show.

Ah okay. For a minute there I thought Bon Jovi's career was doing so bad he had to take a sideshow job with Ferguson

I don't like his comedy. Ten percent of his show I might find funny.
The bits with the skeleton are total crap.
And the character he plays with the buck teeth is total crap.
The choice between playing the harmonica or an awkward pause. Total crap. Almost like an ackack post.

Even Craig refers to himself as the "creepy old foreign dude", so you're not alone!
Skinnyguy you are 100% correct. Some may prefer their comedy a little less in your in face, I recommend the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

This is priceless, is there an uncensored version?

Most of Craig's female guests know what he's about, but it doesn't always go his way. LMAO!

She's never struck me as being the sharpest pencil in the case.

You have to give Craig credit for playing the ladies like a Stradivarius. Not bad for a creepy Scotsman.

Btw, I recently watched The Sessions. Moon Bloodgood is as talented as she is gorgeous - imagine having her as your physical therapist!

So that's why Kimmel says that about Matt Damon at the end of every show? Is this real or were they just acting/joking?
