Craig Ferguson always jokes on The Late Late Show that he doesn’t have an audience and they are really a laugh track. Well tonight on CBS at 12:37a that really is going to be the case because he is going audience free while he interviews the very clever Stephen Fry. Craig Ferguson Tweeted yesterday:
Morning you magnificent bastards. Woke up with an idea that may worry the network & sponsors. HAHAetc. More later C x
I have decided to do tomorrows show with no audience. The entire episode will be a conversation with Stephen Fry. Why? Why not?
And then during his show he explained his decision to try this experiment. It is going to be interesting to see if it works, I know I will be watching CBS tonight at 12:37a to find out. If anyone can do it he can! I at least I hope he can.
BTW no word if he really will be using a laugh track tonight, now that would be funny!
UPDATE: Stephen Fry just Tweeted this after taping tonight’s “live” Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, “Mr @craigyferg was entirely charming. Most unusual Late Late Show. Him, me – no audience. There was breeze & we shot it, fat & we chewed it?” After reading that Tweet, I am even more excited to see tonight’s show on CBS at 12:37a!
UPDATE 2: Craig Ferguson just Tweeted this, “Just finished taping show with Stephen Fry & no audience. Thank God he is so erudite & generous. Odd show. Some will like it. Some won’t.” I am sure I will be one of the some that likes it!
UPDATE 3: Do you think Craig Ferguson’s experiment work? If you missed it, watch it here and let me know!
