Welcome to the kickoff of our series for insomniacs, or people similar to us who really have no lives, or both.
Colorado is the shiznit threw up what she referred to as a "piece of crap" diary last night on Craig Ferguson.
It was a relief to finally know that there are others out there who do think Craig is hot. Keeping that secret for years has taken its toll on my personal and professional life.
If you only think he is funny then that's alright too.
If you cannot stand him, you can leave, or feel free to bitch below, this late at night, any type of adrenalin rush is welcome.
So Colorado is the Shiznit and me are going to team up and throw out some comedy relief (you may call it crap) on a regular basis.
Laugh at Craig, lust at Craig, or throw pie at Craig, it's your monitor to clean. Join us in the comment section, aka "the vent hole" and let it all out.
Thanks and a hat tip to Ek Hornbeck who I believe coined that expression here.
Be a sport and join us in some Late Late Show insomniac insanity.
For this gal there are many nights that after a long day, that has included absorbing a lot of great, good, and some not so good diaries here, an attitude adjustment is much needed.

Late Late Show April 21, 2009
Who in the world is Craig Ferguson?
wikipedia
Ferguson's experience in entertainment began as a drummer in a rock band called Exposure. He then joined a punk band called "The Bastards from Hell."[2] The band, later known as "Dreamboys," performed regularly in Glasgow from 1980 to 1982.
Ferguson was born in Glasgow, Scotland, to Robert and Janet Ferguson, and raised in nearby Cumbernauld.[13] He claimed in one episode of the Late Late Show to have been raised Scottish Presbyterian. His paternal grandfather was a Scottish Protestant and his paternal grandmother was an Irish Catholic.
His first visit to the United States was to visit an uncle who lived on Long Island, near New York City, as a teenager.[14] Later, he lived in New York City, where he worked in construction in Harlem. Ferguson said that he "used to be a bouncer at a cool club in New York called Save the Robots. That was the name of the club. I was the bouncer the first couple of weeks. I got fired. I was power crazed. I was acting like a goblin from the Lord of the Rings."[15]
On the Tuesday, January 22, 2008, airing of The Late Late Show, Ferguson announced that he was scheduled to take his citizenship test in Los Angeles on January 25, 2008. The next Monday he announced that he received a perfect score, with footage of this shown as proof. Aware of the cameras, Ferguson gave tongue-in-cheek answers to some questions: for example, in response to a request to name the writer of The Star-Spangled Banner, he replied "Francis Scott Key... and Puff Daddy".
The Late Late Show has some depth to it too.
Serious monologues:
On a few occasions Ferguson's opening monologue has taken on a serious tone.
* On January 30, 2006, Ferguson eulogized his father, who had died the day before. Ferguson was nominated for his first Emmy Award for the episode.
On September 10, 2008, Ferguson described his excitement about voting in his first U.S. Presidential election and ranted against American voter fatigue, stating, "If you don't vote, you're a moron!"[3]
There is no way I can wrap this up without giving a hat tip and a shout out to Shitznit for showing us that any night can be......
A Wonderful Night
h/t to thebluecrayon for finding this for all of us last night.
