The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson: An Exhaustive Cold List

[anikadicara]

Making my way through the late night TV lists in my brain... here's Craig!  I'm sure there are more of these, the whole we-just-threw-this-thing-together-off-the-cuff-at-the-last-minute aesthetic of this show really leant itself to extended discussion of Craig's illnesses.

 

Unknown date, 2005: "I feel a bit sick.  Not sick enough to miss work, but sick enough to whine and complain all day about it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVJkXgrgGok

Unknown date, 2005: "I don't feel sick anymore, but my voice still sounds like I feel sick." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkH2k1Y9Ask

February 13 2008: "Dear mighty CBS Corporation, thank you so much for understanding that I am suffering from the flu and allowing me to do the show anyway, and not to take a night off, which was the stupid idea I originally came up with." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU_QgbWgRyU

February 17 2012: "I've got a cold and I've been taking this cold medication.  And if you know me you know I stopped doing drugs a long time ago but I took this cold medication and now I'm like, yeah hi, how ya doin', I feel a bit Willy Nelson" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56eiU5rVd1U

January 7 2014: "you know when you've got a cold and you don't have to blow your nose but you just have to hold it for a little while?  I've got to do that." (I tried to put time stamps but Craig talks about being sick for practically the whole show, sneeze at 16:35) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDgaFnlk9Qo&list=PLOZRe78ovwAbxj1paswYSjHiELs5za7uX&index=167
