that was delightful.
the first time i ever saw stephen fry was in V for Vendetta but it is actually due to the sift that i have become of fan of both fry and ferguson.

"Would it work? Is it possible to talk to someone without people whooping in the background?"

Yes it does work. I love it.

Loved it, but part one of this is supposed to be 10 minutes long.

That was great. No audience, no laugh pauses. He should do more of these.

Seeing this combination... I guess Ferguson seems one of the few British comedians to cross over? Maybe Simon Pegg and Ricky Gervais count as well, but it does suddenly strike me how little overlap there is between British and American comedy.

EDIT: And Hugh Laurie.

you forgot to link in the last part... the outro... here you go:

I don't think that Craig Ferguson was particularly popular in the UK, at least not outside Scotland. I (from the UK) hadn't heard of him before seeing him on VS. Looking on Wikipedia, it seems that he had a TV programme made over here, but only a one off pilot that didn't make it to a series.

Yeah. Craig Ferguson is not a household name in the UK at all. The first I'd heard of him was in The Drew Carey Show and even then I was not in the UK when I started watching that. I'd say 99% of the British public wouldn't know who he is.

He is very, very good however, and I'm glad he made it so big in America.
