Late, Late Show Celebrates 1,000th Show
Late, Late show host Craig Ferguson marked his 1,000th show by not appearing as the host. The 1,000th show was hosted by popular puppet Wavy (aka Wavy Rancheros) who is voiced by Ferguson. Imagine spending the entire time hosting the show below camera level or under your host desk. Ferguson did just that last night to roars of approval from the audience. Wavy hosted the show from monologue to interviewing guests, with guest puppets dancing in the background and a shark puppet starring in the Aquaman skit Ferguson usually stars in. Wavy has his own fan club with show viewers, famous for the wave of his hand (hence his name) and southern drawl. Wavy has admitted on numerous occasions that he is not sure if he is a crocodile or alligator. Wavy’s guests last night were Jason Schwartzman, Maria Bello and Kristen Bell. The tables were turned on Wavy when with perfect timing Schwartzman began interviewing Wavy, asking him about his life as a reptile. Maria Bello flirted with Wavy during her interview and ended up making out with the puppet. Jason Segel made a cameo voicing a Dracula puppet performing “Dracula’s Lament”.
