Craig Ferguson on Scrabble, Comfort TV, Punk Rock Roots, and Why He’s Done With Late Nigh
Craig Ferguson joins Big Jim for a wide-ranging, relaxed conversation about hosting the new Scrabble game show on The CW, why he believes in “comfort TV,” and how his unscripted style helps contestants relax and play better.
Craig talks about what surprised him most about Scrabble, why he prefers game shows where “nobody gets hurt,” and how the looseness of his late-night years still shapes the way he hosts today. He also shares what he kept from The Drew Carey Show, reflects on the evolution of late night, and explains why he feels at peace walking away from that chapter.
The conversation takes a fun detour into Craig’s punk-rock youth, including his early band The Bastards From Hell, and wraps with a pitch for a Classic Rock Scrabble idea that may—or may not—now belong to Craig.
Scrabble airs Thursdays at 8pm ET/PT on The CW.
