ELLEN: THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW By David Bianculli

It’s a big week for politicians running for, or already in, higher office – at least in terms of talk-show appearances, that is. Jeb Bush showed up on the premiere installment of Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit Colbert tonight.

CRAIG FERGUSON: JUST BEING HONEST By David Bianculli

“That’s right, young people,” Craig Ferguson bellows in one of many entertaining rants in this new comedy concert special, filmed earlier this year in New York. “I called you stupid! Tell me how offended you are on Instagram!” Freed from his Late Late Show constraints, Ferguson is a little more raw and naughty, and even freer to go off topic, than he was on his decade-long CBS talk show. “What did you expect?” he asks the crowd whenever he gets “oo
