Craig Ferguson (placeholder)

Really Funny, awesome character.

he makes me giggle

I don’t know if you will ever see this letter, so I could make it like every other letter from every other fan. I could tell you how much you make me laugh. I could tell you how talented you are as an actor, writer, and producer. I could even tell you how terribly attractive you are. But although these statements are all absolutely truthful, they simply do not describe my intentions accurately enough. I want to say something more, something totally different than what you are used to hearing. I suppose what I really want to do is reach out. I want to reach out to a man who brings not only laughter to my life, but a pure and unadulterated joy. I want to reach out to a man who has managed to overcome his personal demons and live up to his true potential. I want to reach out to a spirit who, on a daily basis, inspires me and who may not be told often enough that he means the world to someone else because he makes that person proud to be proud of him.

Every other week, it seems as though I hear a celebrity say or do something dumb while drunk or high. They drive drunk like Mel Gibson or beat their wives like Bobby Brown or make a pornographic video like Paris Hilton. And every time I hear the same excuse: “It isn’t my fault.” Whether they blame their status as a celebrity for what they have done or say they weren’t responsible for what they said because they were on something, it is always the same idea: not my fault. Quite frankly, when you hear enough of this, you start to become incredibly jaded about the world. Because even in the general public, I hear it. A friend of mine got a DUI recently, and instead of taking responsibility, he rationalized his behavior by saying he had no one else to call for a ride. I really began to believe for a while that no one knew how to stop making excuses and take responsibility for themselves. And, if you knew anything about me, you’d know my first concern is how these people are or will be as parents, what they will teach their children, how they will be a role model – or not be one. It scared the living daylights out of me.

And then, one day, I started paying attention to a man who had a late-night talk show. At first, I didn’t see much more than a funny guy with a cute accent. But then, I really listened. I saw you time after time talk about your alcoholism. I heard you criticize Mel Gibson for blaming alcohol for his statements about the Jews. I saw you commend Keith Urban for choosing rehab over addiction. And I see you on a constant basis reinforce the idea that you make your own decisions in life and the consequences are yours to deal with.

Now here is where I hope this letter moves you.

Because you have chosen this path rather than the the path of least resistance, the path of hard work and responsibility, I have faith in the ability of people – especially celebrities who are not only role models to their own children but to young people across the country – to teach their children right from wrong, and about responsibility and choice. Because you have chosen to make your own decisions and to live up to your potential rather than living a life of excuses and blame-passing, you have proven yourself a wonderful father to your baby boy, Milo. He will grow up with the values many young people are missing out on in today’s society. He will grow into a man not unlike his father, with that sense of realism and pride in himself. He will be able to instill the same values in his own children. And perhaps, just perhaps, one day, when he tells them about their grandfather, he will say to them, “Your grandfather was an inspiration to others because he was true to himself and true to me.”

You are more than just a comedian, more than just a writer, more than just a man. You are a father, a wonderful father, simply because you can give your son more than just material goods. You have given him a lesson in morality and responsibility, and I, for one, would like to personally thank you for inspiring me to do the same for my children. Thank you so much for being all that you are. Thank you for giving me hope. Thank you for being.

Love,
Karyn B.

Craig Ferguson should want to meet me because I have unequivical proof that I am his humor-mate (is there such a thing?),and by this I mean I can almost predictively guess (or guessively PREDICT) the next lines of thinking when it comes to his unabashedly funny dialogue…you can almost KNOW what he’s thinking if you watch him carefully enough when he’s hosting the Late Late show..it’s very hilarious to the me…and by me I mean myself,which is also known as I and me,within,herein,and of course,THERIEN.

I want to meet Craig Ferguson because I have this impetuous adoration for him. I feel like he could be my soul mate, and I need to get the fantasy of him out of my mind.
I think I may be borderline crazy, and I am definitely infatuated. Now if I was a teenager, I could say this was just a silly little “crush” or “puppy love”, but I am not and this definitely feels different. Perhaps there is an unnatural tendency to familiarize with people that are total strangers because of the Internet, etc.?
Anyway, I also need to thank him. His comedic and sensitive personality (as seen on the Late Late Show) has practically “saved” me from some of the most terrible times this past year! The more I “learn” about him from his candid expression during his monologues, the more I see the parallels between our lives (teenagers of the 80s, heartbreak and divorce, and the grief and loss of a parent, etc).
I will be seeing him in person performing his standup in October and November, so I guess I will be sort of a “groupie”. The worst that can happen is that my heart will be broken, and the fantasy will be forgotten. Whatever the case may be, I know I will always love this man, Craig Ferguson.
The time is nearing though, and I must have that reality check!!

I think that Craig is very very funny. He is also charming, in a rogue-ish sort of way. He is very talented and very underrated. He needs more publicity than a little blurb after a preview for Letterman’s show saying “Then catch Craig.” Is the network embarrassed to have him? I think he would have a better audience if they publicized him more.

I hear he’s funny, but koon ya oonder stoond him mahn?

The real reason I want to meet Craig is because I just don’t believe that he’s really Scottish. I think it’s all a very clever hoax. To be specific, I feel like it’s his accent that is fake. And it just really makes me wonder. I feel like going and spying on him when he thinks no one is looking, just so that I can catch him in his act.

Someday I’ll prove myself right, I just know it!

Someone I can truly relate to
