After starting his career in the United Kingdom with music, comedy, and theatre, Ferguson moved to the United States, where he appeared in the role ofNigel Wick on theABC sitcomThe Drew Carey Show (1996–2004). Ferguson has written three books:Between the Bridge and the River, a novel;American on Purpose (2009), a memoir; andRiding the Elephant: A Memoir of Altercations, Humiliations, Hallucinations & Observations (2019). He holds both British and American citizenship.
He has written and starred in three films, directing one of them, and has appeared in several others. In animated film, Ferguson voiced Gobber in theHow to Train Your Dragon film series (2010–2019),Owl inWinnie the Pooh (2011), and Lord Macintosh inBrave (2012).
Ferguson was born on 17 May 1962 inStobhill Hospital in theSpringburn district ofGlasgow, to Robert (1930–2006),[4] apost office worker andScottish Nationalist,[5] and Janet (nee Ingram) Ferguson (1933–2008),[6] aprimary school teacher.[7][8][9] When he was six months old, he and his family moved from their Springburn flat to a Development Corporation house in the nearby New Town ofCumbernauld, where he grew up "chubby and bullied".[10][11] They lived there as Cumbernauld was rehousing many Glaswegians away from the poor housing conditions anddamage to the city from World War II.[11]
Ferguson attended Muirfield Primary School[12] andCumbernauld High School.[13] At age 16, Ferguson left high school and began an apprenticeship to be an electronics technician at a local factory of American companyBurroughs Corporation.[14] Ferguson has two sisters (one older and one younger) and one older brother.[15] His younger sister,Lynn Ferguson Tweddle, is also a comedian, presenter and actress, who voiced Mac in the 2000stop-motion animation filmChicken Run. She was a writer onThe Late Late Show until July 2011.[16]
His first visit to the United States was in 1975, when he was 13, to visit an uncle who lived onLong Island, near New York City.[17] When he moved to New York City in 1983, he worked in construction inHarlem.[18][19] He was later a bouncer at the nightclubSave the Robots before returning to the United Kingdom.[20]
Ferguson's entertainment career began as a teenager, drumming for Glasgowpunk bands such as the Night Creatures and Exposure. He then had a brief stint as a drummer for the post-punk band Ana Hausen, which released a single for Human Records in 1981.[21] Following that, he joined punk band The Bastards from Hell, later renamed the Dreamboys, and fronted by vocalist and future actorPeter Capaldi. They performed regularly in Glasgow from 1980 to 1982.[22] Ferguson credits Capaldi for inspiring him to try comedy.[10] When Ferguson was 18, he worked as a session musician and performed as a drummer forNico during a few gigs when she toured Scotland.[21]
After a nerve-wracking first comedy appearance, he decided to create a character he described as a "parody of all the über-patriotic native folk singers who seemed to infect every public performance in Scotland,"[10] using the name "Bing Hitler" borrowed from Peter Capaldi.[22] Ferguson first performed as the character in Glasgow, and was subsequently a hit at the 1986Edinburgh Festival Fringe. However, by the end of the year, Ferguson was already discussing his intention to retire Bing. At the press launch for an alternativepantomime of "Sleeping Beauty" (which he co-wrote with Capaldi),[23] he said, "You can't write for just one character forever."[24] A recording of his act as Bing Hitler was made at Glasgow's Tron Theatre and released in the 1980s;[25] a Bing Hitler monologue ("A Lecture forBurns Night") appears on the compilation cassetteHoney at the Core.[26]
After enjoying success at theEdinburgh Festival,[27] Ferguson appeared on television as 'Confidence' inRed Dwarf, onSTV'sHogmanay Shows,[28] and on the 1993One Foot in the Grave Christmas specialOne Foot in the Algarve. In 1990, a pilot ofThe Craig Ferguson Show, a one-off comedy pilot forGranada Television, was broadcast, co-starringPaul Whitehouse andHelen Atkinson-Wood.[29] In 1991,Channel 4 asked him to hostFriday at the Dome, a 75-minute live music show.[30] In 1992, he was given his ownBBC Scotland show,2000 Not Out.[31] In 1993, he presented a six-part archaeology TV series,The Dirt Detective, forSTV,[32][33] and was given a six-part TV series onBBC One,The Ferguson Theory, a mix of stand-up and sketches recorded the day before transmission.[34][35]
Ferguson also found success in musical theatre. Beginning in 1991, he appeared on stage as Brad Majors in the London production ofThe Rocky Horror Show.[36] In 1994, he played Father MacLean in production ofBad Boy Johnny and the Prophets of Doom at theUnion Chapel in London. That year he appeared again at the Edinburgh Fringe, as Oscar Madison inThe Odd Couple.[37]
After living and working in the United States for many years, in 2017, it was announced that he would return to UK television for the first time in 25 years[38] in a guest role inBBC Scotland's comedyStill Game, to be shown in 2018.[39]
In 2022, an adaptation of Ferguson's filmSaving Grace (2000) was announced as a stage musical aimed for a 2023 run inWest End, in which Ferguson will portray a "villainous banker". It was adapted byApril De Angelis from Ferguson's and Mark Crowdy's screenplay, with music byKT Tunstall.[40]
Ferguson moved toLos Angeles in November 1994, after his soon-to-be agent Rick Siegel had seen Ferguson during theEdinburgh Festival and suggested that he come to America.[41] His first American role was as baker Logan McDonough on the short-lived 1995ABC comedyMaybe This Time, which starredBetty White andMarie Osmond.
His breakthrough in the United States came when he was cast onThe Drew Carey Show as the title character's boss, Mr. Wick, a role he played from 1996 to 2003. He played the role with an over-the-topposh English accent, explaining it was "to make up for generations of English actors doing crap Scottish accents."[42] In his comedy special "A Wee Bit o' Revolution", he specifically identifiedJames Doohan's portrayal of Montgomery Scott onStar Trek as the foundation of his "revenge". (At the end of one episode, though, Ferguson broke thefourth wall and began talking to the audience at home in his normal Scottish accent.) His character was memorable for his unique methods of laying employees off, almost always "firing Johnson", the most common last name of the to-be-fired workers.[42] Even after leaving the show in 2003, he remained a recurring character on the series for the last two seasons, and was part of the two-part series finale in 2004.
During the production ofThe Drew Carey Show, Ferguson devoted his off-time as a cast member to writing, working in his trailer on set in between shooting his scenes. He wrote and starred in three films:The Big Tease,Saving Grace, andI'll Be There; he also directed the latter, for which he won the Audience Award for Best Film at the Aspen, Dallas, and Valencia film festivals. He was named Best New Director at the Napa Valley Film Festival. These were among other scripts that, "in the great tradition of the movie business, about half a dozen that I got paid a fortune for but never got made."[43]
His other acting credits in films includeNiagara Motel,Lenny the Wonder Dog,Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events,Chain of Fools,Born Romantic,The Ugly Truth,Kick-Ass, and, as avoice-over actor,How to Train Your Dragon,How to Train Your Dragon 2,Brave, andWinnie the Pooh.[44]
Ferguson has been touring the United States and Canada with a comedy show since the late 2000s, including a performance atCarnegie Hall on 23 October 2010 and a performance atRadio City Music Hall on 6 October 2012. He has performed two stand-up television specials onComedy Central, both released on DVD:A Wee Bit o' Revolution in 2009 andDoes This Need to Be Said? in 2011. His third comedy special,I'm Here to Help, was released onNetflix in 2013, garnering positive reviews of 4 out of 5 stars on Netflix and peaking at number 6 onBillboard top comedy albums.[45][46] It also received a2014 Grammy Award nomination forBest Comedy Album.[47]

The show was unique in that it had no "human" sidekicks such asEd McMahon onThe Tonight Show with Johnny Carson orConan O'Brien'sAndy Richter. Beginning in 2010, a robotic skeleton namedGeoff Peterson and two silent performers in a pantomime horse costume were added to the show. His monologues were conducted within a few feet of the camera versus the long distance Johnny Carson kept from the camera and audience.[49]
The Late Late Show averaged 2.0 million viewers in its 2007 season, compared with 2.5 million forLate Night with Conan O'Brien.[50] In April 2008,The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson beatLate Night with Conan O'Brien for weekly ratings (1.88 million to 1.77 million) for the first time since the two shows went head-to-head with their respective hosts.[51]

On 28 April 2014, Ferguson announced he would leaveThe Late Late Show at the end of 2014,[54] with the final episode airing on 19 December.[55] His contract was set to expire in June 2014, but a six-month extension was agreed on to provide a more graceful exit and give CBS more time to find a replacement host.[56][57] He reportedly receivedUS$5 million as part of his contract because he was not selected as the replacement forDavid Letterman'sLate Show.[58] Ferguson made the decision prior to Letterman's announcement but agreed to delay making his own decision public until the reaction to Letterman's decision (announced 3 April) had died down.[57] CBS entertainment chairNina Tassler said, following the announcement, that in his decade as host Ferguson had "infused the broadcast with tremendous energy, unique comedy, insightful interviews and some of the most heartfelt monologues seen on television."[59] CBS continued the franchise withJames Corden as the new host.[60]
