A Craig Ferguson Fan Explains Why Join or Die Doesn’t Connect For Him

Mind you, Craig Ferguson is a very funny fellow, as anyone who followed him on The Late, Late Show (or even Drew Carey’s show before that) can attest. In his most recent venture, a show called Join or Die on the History Channel, he is a good deal less so. Part of that may be because, as he himself probably realized when he left Late Late, he is running out of gas. Perhaps a bigger part may be that this show does not provide a particularly good format for him or any of his guests to generate laughs.

A Look Back at the Year That Changed Comedy and Why Things May Never Be the Same

One year ago Robin Williams was still with us, Joan Rivers was alive, and Bill Cosby was a comedy icon and role model. The loss of these three living legends has changed the face of comedy. It's been a long and emotionally charged year for comedy fans and each of these events have left marks on the genre that will resonate for years to come.
