If you only know Craig Ferguson as host of The Late Late Show or as Drew Carey's sitcom boss, you're missing out.

Before a hootin' and hollerin' Nashville audience, Ferguson tackles every topic from celebrity sex scandals to booze to his own hilarious heavy metal past - all in an accent that makes him sound downright refined.
