Craig Ferguson in Conversation with Kathie Lee Gifford: Riding the Elephant

May 07, 2019

Join the Emmy Award-winning actor, comedian, and former host of The Late Late Show to hear about his new memoir, Riding the Elephant: A Memoir of Altercations, Humiliations, Hallucinations, and Observations.

He’ll share stories that are “too graphic for television, too politically incorrect for social media and too meditative for stand-up comedy performance.” He’ll discuss his deep love for his native Scotland, and look back at a career that’s encompassed everything from multiple tours across North America and beyond, five Grammy-nominated stand-up comedy specials, a bestselling novel, two Daytime Emmy awards for Celebrity Name Game, acting roles in The Drew Carey Show, Winnie the Poo, Brave, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. And he’ll share personal stories about fatherhood, growing up and growing older, becoming an American, and much more.
