As those of you who watch the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson know, he reads emails from viewers and, uh, sort of answers them - or at least comments on them. I thought it might be fun to have an entire thread devoted to short, one-line questions for this very funny, talented, newly-minted American. After we get a few, I will email him this link and see if perhaps he answers any of our questions! So, make your questions short and viewer-email worthy. No debates, just questions. My question: **Dear Craig, Have any of your guests ever farted during an interview with you? Sincerely, DMark - Las Vegas, Nevada** ---

Dear substitute Craig: When is Kilborn coming back? ---

I love him. His monologue is sheer Dada insanity. ---

I’ve always loved Ferguson ever since he had a show here in the UK back in the 90s. He’s intelligent, a rare attribute in a talk show host and unfortunately one which may disqualify him from inheriting Letterman’s position when Dave retires ---

\*\*Dear Craig: When you impersonate a geezer (old person), you pull your pants up to your chest. Doesn’t this squish your package? Cheers!

Beside your hands, what else have you put in your puppets? Cheers! Uncle Brother Walker Bethesda, MD\*\* ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Jo Bob’s email starts at 2:17, everyone. It was funny, but I felt a little embarrassed for Craig that he didn’t realize the Joe Bob was referring to [Kiss](http://dave.samojlenko.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/kiss.png). “Which one were you? The one with the tongue, or the one dressed like a cat?” Kiss’ [Gene Simmons](http://www.poprock80s.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/gene_simmons.jpg) had the famously long tongue, and [Peter Criss](http://media.photobucket.com/image/peter%20criss/rolltider17/KISS/Peter%20Criss/7bd34b17.jpg) was Catman. ---

I have sent the link to this thread to Craig. Feel free to add your questions, in case he (or most likely, someone on his woefully under-paid, overworked staff) should actually click here to read it. ---

He confused me on “Drew Carey,” since he was funny. He’s allowed to be funny, now. Not as funny as is his inclination, but still funny. ---

Dear Craig, Are you ever going to get a side kick? Because Kanye West would probably do it for cheap and watching him verbally assault the guests then you bitch slapping him would be awesome. It would be a game every night to see when it would happen! ShelliBean ---

> [@nivlac](#): > > I love Craig Ferguson. He’s the best late night host on air right now. I agree. It’s not even close. Letterman is obnoxious to his guests and O’brien’s humor stinks of ADHD 12 year old. Dear Craig, is Margaret Thatcher as hot as everyone says she is in bed?
