Craig Ferguson joined the late-night television arena as host of THE LATE LATE SHOW in January 2005, following a career that encompassed film, television and the stage. The Scottish-born actor, writer, director and producer, who is also known for his role as Nigel Wick on "The Drew Carey Show," brings a fresh approach to late-night television, which has quickly evolved into appointment television for America's nightly insomniacs.

Each weeknight, the Peabody Award-winning show, lead by Emmy Award-nominated Ferguson, entertains audiences with an exceptional, unscripted monologue and goes one-on-one with guests from the worlds of film, television, sports and news. Additionally, THE LATE LATE SHOW with CRAIG FERGUSON continues to spotlight eclectic, edgy musical acts and rising stand-up comedians.
