I’m a fan of the Craig Ferguson Late Late Show and last night’s episode was really touching. He did a nice job talking about his dad, being real and honest and funny while obviously grieving. The musical guests, Wicked Tinkers were perfect too.

Anybody else have any thoughts on it?

I thought it was wonderful. It wasn’t maudlin or fake, but the depth of emotion was moving. I cried the whole time it was on. (Note, I cry easily.) I appreciated that he was able to be funny and irreverent, as well as grieving. And I loved the Wicked Tinkers.

That kind of emotional honesty is why the Late Late Show is the only late night TV program that I bother to watch.
