Craig Ferguson remembers his father
If you haven't been watching The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, you've been missing out. And if you didn't watch it last night, you missed out on something extraordinary. Last night, Craig replaced his monologue with a tribute to his father Robert Ferguson, who died of cancer over the weekend at age 75. It was one of the most heartfelt, eloquent, courageous, and deeply moving moments of television I've ever seen. In the finest Scottish storytelling tradition he shared richly textured memories of his father with equal parts humor and heart - and in those fifteen mesmerzing minutes, his loss became ours as we all came to know, love and mourn the man.
You can watch it here.
This was magnificent television. My heart goes out - and my hat comes off - to Craig.

Thank you. That was very good.
Hi there! I am a Craig Ferguson fan, also, and I was wondering if you know if he has an e-mail address? (He "reads" e-mails from viewers during his show, and I am wondering if this is a real e-mail address we can write to, or are those "jokes" written by him or his staff.) So - what is Craig Ferguson's e-mail address?
Thank you!
Joan
