Who is Craig Ferguson?

Craig Ferguson was born in Glasgow in Scotland, on 17 May 1962, so his zodiac sign is Taurus, and he holds British and American nationality. Craig is an author, actor, comedian, and a TV host, best known for hosting the “Celebrity Name Game” TV show. Craig was raised in Glasgow by his parents Robert and Janet Ferguson. He was chubby as he was growing up and was therefore bullied while attending Muirfield Primary School. From there, he enrolled at Cumbernauld High School, but quit before matriculation at the age of 16, and started working at a local factory owned by Burroughs Corporations.

His first visit to the US was in 1975, to see his uncle who lived on Long Island in New York; Craig moved to New York City in 1983, and worked on a construction site before becoming a bouncer at the Save the Robots nightclub. He traveled back and forth from the US to Scotland several times, and launched his career as a drummer for the Exposure rock band, before he joined The Bastards from Hell punk band. He then tried himself out in comedy, and created a character which he named Bing Hitler, described as ‘a parody of all the über-patriotic native folk singers who seemed to infect every public performance in Scotland’.

After he portrayed the character at the Edinburgh Festival, he appeared in the “Red Dwarf” TV series, then “Hogmanay Show” and “One Foot in the Grave” Christmas special in 1993. In 1992, he started hosting his own BBC Scotland show entitled “2000 Not Out”.

In November 1994, Craig moved to Los Angeles and won his first role in 1995 in the “Maybe This Time” ABC comedy, as baker Logan McDonough. He became popular in the US after he was cast to play Mr. Wick in “The Drew Carey Show”, eventually from 1996 to 2003.

He was mostly famous for his posh ‘English’ accent, especially for his methods of firing people – after he quit the show in 2003, he occasionally appeared in it during its final two seasons. Craig has written and starred in three films, entitled “The Big Tease”, “I’ll Be There”, and “Saving Grace” – for the latter he won the Audience Award for Best Film at Aspen in Dallas, and was named the best new director at the Napa Valley Film Festival. He’s appeared in numerous other movies over the years, some of which are “Niagara Motel”, “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events”, and “Born Romantic” while he’s lent his voice to characters in animated movies, some of which are “Brave”, “How To Train Your Dragon”, and its sequel “How To Train Your Dragon 2”.

He began hosting CBS’s “The Late Late Show” on 3 January 2005, succeeding Craig Kilborn and was praised for his performance so that the show had an average of two million unique viewers in its 2007 season. He left the show on 19 December 2014, with James Corden becoming the new host.

His novel “Between the Bridges and the River” was published on 10 April 2006, and he later released his memoirs in a book entitled “American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot” on 22 September 2009.

His book “Riding the Elephant: A Memoir of Altercations, Humiliations, Hallucinations, and Observations” was published on 7 May 2019.

Craig is a huge fan of the “Doctor Who” TV series, and is a fan of Partick Thistle F.C. Scottish soccer team. He has five tattoos inked onto his skin – his favorite is “Join, or Die” which symbolizes his American patriotism. He has an FAA private pilot certificate which he received in 2009, hasn’t drunk alcohol since 1992 (after being addicted and having recovered successfully), and has been vegan since 2015.
