Craig Ferguson Turns the Lights Out on Alicia Silverstone -- Video

By Dino Sossi Posted Oct 28th 2009 11:30AM

The show must go on, even in the dark. Craig Ferguson, host of 'The Late Late Show,' kept the cameras rolling and the jokes coming despite a power outage that darkened his studio.

Ferguson was interviewing actress Alicia Silverstone when high winds in Los Angeles turned out the power at CBS studios and other parts of the city. (The power goes out at 9:05 in the video)

Katie Barker, show publicist, said the lights started to dim and darkened completely at approximately 5:40 p.m. Both Ferguson and Silverstone were unsure what happened. Show producers gave Ferguson a flashlight and decided to continue taping the live show.

The Scottish-born Ferguson, 47, has hosted 'The Late Late Show' since January 2005 and earned an Emmy Award nomination in 2006. Previously, he was best-known for playing Nigel Wick on 'The Drew Carey Show.'

Silverstone, 33, broke out in a music video for Aerosmith and came to fame after roles in 'Clueless' and 'Batman & Robin.'

Couldn't have happened to a flakier girl. Serves her right. I hope the lights go out on every show she appears on. Remember her rudeness to one of the co-hosts of The View? She's a spoiled, no-talent, egotistical person who ought to just go away. Other than the fact that she's kind to animals, I can't think of another good thing to say about her.

Craig Ferguson is far and away the funniest guy on late night TV. Conan's humor feels like it is aimed at 13 year olds and Letterman is an arrogant, condescending jerk.

Absolutely the funniest man on late-nite TV; high-brow humor that can be cutting, with a dark side. Rapid delivery, and skillful interviews.
