Never trust a man who doesn’t drink.
It screams weakness. True Men know how to handle their drink. Feeble minded people abuse and abstain.

I had been thinking that I was an alcoholic for years… started drinking heavily at 21… started blacking out, by 30 I was a nightly drunk. As I was “considering” that I had a problem I saw this and two days later I told my wife that I was quitting and would start meetings… thanks chris

I’ve watched Craig from the beginning and what has always made him stand out from the other late night hosts is his willingness to share both the good and bad of himself. Just think of what we would’ve missed out on had the bartender not been sleeping behind the bar that night.

That was almost painful in places to watch, it was so honest. Holy shit. I’m not even an addict (well, I am to food that’s terrible for me), but that was inspirational.

So I saw you last night at the Brea Improv and just wanted to comment on how lovely your sweater was. I hope you have a nice day.

I love this guy.

If at all possible, find Craig Ferguson’s old “Heroin screws you up” tirade, about anti-drug advertising. He performed this bit at the Just For Laughs festival a goodly long time ago (late 80′s? early 90s?) He was always genius at stand-up.

Craig is my fave late might host. I have been watching him for about 2 years or so. The thing about him that I find most admirable is the no script no rehearsal policy. His monolouge for when his father died was so sad and from the heart. The one from when his mother died was the same. His ” no picking on Britney Spears because I have been there ” speech was great. His book is also quite good.

The puppets rock too.

I’ve been on the sober team for a bit over seven years now. Its still not easy for me to fully express my story. Craig explained it very well though. Some people just cannot drink “normally”. I am one of those. I also appreciate when Craig spoke about the attitudes of a lot of celebrity rehabs. There would be no way I could have stayed sober for this long without some serious vigilance. It works if you work it. Thanks for posting.

Chris, I know my warped sense of humor and bizarre tweets and comments may not always show it but I respect you more and more the more I “get to know you” as any fan can get to know a celebrity.

Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration and if I ever do get to meet you…. I’ll probably wet myself.

Much love and admiration,
Joel
