CRAIG FERGUSON: JUST BEING HONEST
Epix, 10:00 p.m. ET
“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 “ooohed” for walking, or crossing, the “safe” comedy line. Good question. And though his hanging-with-Mick Jagger stories are hilarious, Ferguson made me laugh the hardest with his most unexpected tossaway asides – like an unexplained “One of us” reference to the Tod Browning cult thriller, Freaks. If you find that sort of thing funny, as do I, then Craig Ferguson is one of you.
