Craig Ferguson (born May 17, 1962) is a Scottish-American comedian, television host, actor, and writer. He is the current host of CBS's The Late Late Show, a role which earned him an Emmy nomination in 2006. He became an American citizen on February 1, 2008.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is an American late-night talk show hosted by Craig Ferguson on CBS.

Ferguson's first show as permanent host aired January 3, 2005. Ferguson, who introduces himself as "TV's Craig Ferguson", spent the show's first few months tailoring the show to his own style. He opens the show with a (relatively) long monologue (10 to 15 minutes), always beginning with the line "It's a great day for America...", and consisting of a single topic that weaves its way through each joke (similar to a stand-up comedy routine), rather than the typical list of unrelated one-liners or that day's various headlines.

Occasionally, there will be story arcs for several days, such as "Flu Watch: 2005", his so-called favorite holiday "Shark Week" (on the Discovery Channel) and his successful ambition to be cast as "Fisherman #1" (formerly Fisherman #2) in the made-for-TV movie Vampire Bats (which aired Sunday, October 30, 2005). His reformed "blackout drinking", his two divorces and subsequently, his sexual orientation are often used as fodder for his humor. More recently, he has undergone an extensive campaign to gain honorary citizenship of the entire United States one town at a time. He did, in fact, become a U.S. citizen on February 1, 2008.

CBS held auditions for the host job by letting their nominees host for one week, which Craig Ferguson obviously won. The others who auditioned were Michael Ian Black, Damien Fahey and D.L. Hughley.

The opening theme is sung by Craig Ferguson himself.

In the "Pick a Pic" opening, which says that it's time to play "Pick a Pic", there are 24 (twenty-four) briefly flashed pictures. These 24 pictures are on a loop which displays them three times throughout this opening.
