Former TV personality Craig Ferguson is getting his own daily program on SiriusXM. Broadcast live from Los Angeles, The Craig Ferguson Show will debut on Comedy Greats channel 94 on Monday, February 27. Scottish-born Ferguson hosted the popular TV program The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson for a decade on CBS, displaying the sharp wit that is his trademark. His new show will air weekdays 6-8 p.m. and feature his perspective on the news of the day and have celebrity interviews, sketches, and correspondent stories. SiriusXM subscribers will also be able to call into the show and talk directly with the comedian.
“Craig Ferguson is a great broadcasting talent with a singular style, and we are thrilled that he is bringing his wit and talents to SiriusXM,” said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM. “Throughout his impressive, award-winning career, Craig’s irreverent charm has won over millions of Americans, while proving himself a true original. Now, with his daily show on SiriusXM, Craig will deliver a completely original comedy show to our national audience, a commitment from a triple-threat talent that we are very excited to launch.”
“This is premium, quality drive-time entertainment. It’s like Game of Thrones in your car without pictures. Also, given recent events on earth, I wanted to return to a daily show without the restriction of wearing pants or shaving [anywhere],” joked Ferguson. “I look forward to working in an environment that has zero censorship and zero network interference. The melon-farmers at SiriusXM told me to say that.”
In addition to Comedy Greats channel 94, SiriusXM subscribers can hear The Craig Ferguson Show via SiriusXM On Demand, through the SiriusXM app on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at www.siriusxm.com/player.
