If you watch Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson with any regularity — and you know I certainly do — you’ve no doubt noticed…
The fruit basket
It’s Craig’s new way to bid guests good-bye. Instead of an awkward pause or a big cash prize or a harmonica duet, guests are sent on their way with the exotic fruit of their choice.
After Craig makes an innuendo or two.
Well, today I discovered a new fruit that absolutely needs to be added to that basket. Heck, you could fill the whole thing with ‘em — they are that perfect for Craig’s sense of humor.
Meet the rambutan.
It grows in Southeast Asia, looks like a cousin of the Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, and is reportedly sweet and sour and slightly grape-like and gummy to the taste.
But I’m pretty sure Craig would just be excited that they look like little hair balls.
Creepy alien-looking hairy balls.
Blue room
I’ve never wondered before why the lights are blue on Radio City Music Hall.
Tonight they could have served as a signal –
Craig Ferguson is in the house…and things are gonna get dirty.
They actually went blue before Craig made it on stage. His warm-up act, Josh Robert Thompson — the voice of Geoff Peterson, the gay robot skeleton on The Late Late Show — did 20 minutes of impressions. His take on Morgan Freeman, Matthew McConaughey, Regis Philban and Liam Neeson had a common theme…
They were all talking while having sex.
(Josh did apologize to his mother, who was in the audience.)
But of course, Craig never says he’s sorry. He made fun of Nazis, Canadians and his beloved Shark Week. He spent a lot of time visiting and revisiting his favorite parts of the female anatomy. His set had energy and profanity and, as always, at least one joke.
So glad I was in on it.
