Craig Ferguson From Scotland | Television Host

Actor Craig Ferguson is the host of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. After finding some success in television London, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1994 and soon landed his American breakout role as the title character’s obnoxious boss in The Drew Carey Show. Ferguson has also written and starred in three films and written two books, the novel Between the Bridge and the River and the memoir American on Purpose. The later book details various experiences over several decades in Ferguson’s life from his days in Scotland through his migration to the United States; the rise of his performing career in the United Kingdom, then Hollywood, and eventual acquisition of US citizenship in early 2008.  In 2010, he won a Peabody Award for the Late Late Show.
