Craig Ferguson Will Become An Official Citizen
The Scottish born host of the "Late Late Show" has finally passed his citizenship test and will be sworn in and made official
in a few weeks.
He has been campaigning cities, towns, and states for honorary citizen status for quite some time. The running comedy bit
started when Ozark, Arkansas was the first to make him an honorary citizen. Although it was good for a few laughs I have a
feeling Mr. Ferguson at some point will demonstrate the seriousness of this decision and what it means to him.
This may have come at a good time. Ferguson's mocking of Prince Charles is far from subtle. The skits in which he portrays Prince
Charles paint him as a buffoon of monumental proportions. Since he more than likely will be King Charles one day Ferguson can
only hope that he has an equally monumental sense of humor. I do not think that Ferguson will be asked to host any Royal
dinners or to stay overnight at the castle.
My initial impression of Ferguson when he started on the show was that he was not funny and I would definitely not be a fan. Over
time however I have come to quite enjoy him. Of all the late night talk show hosts he has by far the longest monologue and he
carries it off every night. You get the impression that he could do the whole hour just by himself. His interviewing skills have
come along quite nicely and usually interacts very well with the guests.
I think it is wonderful that he has decided to become a citizen and to some extent has publicized the process necessary to
become a citizen. From all reports it is a very moving moment for many people and I am sure Ferguson will convey that
to all of us, just before he throws in his punch line. After all that is what he does.
He will be registering to vote in Vermont where he owns a farm.
He should be a wonderful addition to our ranks. Perhaps we could send Conan O'Brien to England as a trade.
