The Resume

    (May 17, 1962- )
    Host of 'The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson' (2005- )
    Acted in 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events' (2004), 'I'll Be There' (2003), 'Chain of Fools' (2000), 'Saving Grace' (2000) and 'The Big Tease' (1999)
    Starred on TV in 'The Drew Carey Show' and 'The Craig Ferguson Show'

Why he might be annoying:

    His main claim to fame prior to 'The Late Late Show' was portraying Nigel Wick on 'The Drew Carey Show.'
    He hosted a terrible sketch comedy for the BBC (‘The Craig Ferguson Show’)
    His film work on ‘Lemony Snickets’ ended up on the cutting room floor.
    He is divorced.
    He is a recovering alcoholic.
    He did standup comedy in Scotland under the name Bing Hitler.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He took over hosting ‘The Late Late Show’ from Craig Kilborn (January 3, 2005).
    Even though he was considered a longshot, he beat out D. L. Hughley, Michael Ian Black among others for the late night hosting position.
    Within two months, viewership of 'The Late Late Show' is up more than 15%, to more than 2 million viewers.
    He attracted more press attention and garnered better reviews than the snide and cynical Kilborn.
    He played guitar and drums in some of the worst punk bands around Scotland and did a stint with Nico from the Velvet Underground.
    He is modest about his acting abilities.
    After seeing 'Babe' he said 'That sheepdog is a better actor than me.'
    He quit drinking in the early 90's.
