...audiences as The Drew Carey Show's insufferable boss Mr. Wick, takes the reins of CBS's Late Late Show in January, which another Craig--Kilborn in this case--dropped over the summer. (Easier to remember the name of the guy behind the desk, that way.) Ferguson won a bake-off with three other funny guys, much to his surprise. "I thought, There's no way they're going to let a Scottish guy do this show," he says. (Has he never seen Shrek?) We eagerly await seeing all those guests in kilts...
