I'm thinking Craig Ferguson. He fits adorable without being funny.

Ugh, not for me ... he has that smug, WASPy over grown frat guy quality that makes me hurl.
Remember how he couldn't stop his leg?

Tom's appearance on Comedy Death Ray last week was really great too. He was on there with Weird Al and PFT as Gary Marshall. I hoped that Tom would appear on these, my two favorite podcasts after the Best Show. It was podcast heaven this week.

You mean Craig Kilborn, right?  Craig Ferguson is many things, but he doesn't strike me as THOSE things.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Can Scots really be considered WASPs, though?

Or, as I like to call him in a Spikey mood, Craig Shouldhavebeenkilledbeforehewasborn.

GOD DAMMIT - I did it again. the Frat guy I was talking about it Craig Kilbourn. Every time Ferguson's name comes up, I get confused & think they're talking about Kilbourn.

I still don't think Ferguson's funny, but he's not a douchebag a-hole like Kilbourn.

I think Marc created a false dichotomy between his "raw" comedy and the Best Show gang's clean comedy.  Anyone heard Patton's "Orgy"
 sketch?  Or any other sketch by him for that matter?

That being said, this was indeed an amazing interview.  Great job, Tom, and great job, Marc.

By "sketch," of course I mean "bit."

Ew buoy.

^^That's weird. I'm with you on this confusion; the correction to Kilbourn totally threw me.
