How could this horse be worth one million dollars?

Of all the political rhetoric and arguments I’ve encountered this week, this is sadly the best.

Craig Ferguson is still the best host on television

Last night, Ferguson interviewed Claire Danes’ father-in-law, Jonathan Dancy. Dancy is a professor of philosophy at the University of Reading and the University of Texas who specializes in moral philosophy and one of the leading thinkers in the realm of moral particularism. The two actually engaged in a thoughtful discussion and Ferguson helped break down a modern philosophical school of thought to more viewers than Jimmy Fallon’s.

Jay Leno had Justin Bieber. Who’s doing more for the world?

Honestly, I would watch Lost if Ben Linus was the only character on the show. It’s a combination of fantastic writing and Michael Emerson’s brilliant acting that make Ben a character I’m simultaneously rooting for, disgusted by, identifying with, hating, and sympathizing with every moment he is on screen.

With Conan O’Brien off the air at the moment, every single one of you needs to be watching Craig Ferguson.

Tuesday night, Craig did an experiment with the genre of the “late night talk show” by removing the audience, tossing aside the silly jokes and sketches, and dropping all the music and things that are a staple of what we expect from such a show.

What follows is a brilliant interview between Ferguson and Stephen Fry that dives deep into the actual persons of each individual. Not only do you gain insights into the minds and hearts of these individuals, but you see that intellectual discussions and intelligence can function and captivate during a late night setting.

Ferguson is brilliant in every sense of the world. Do yourself a favor and watch his show. At the very least, watch this show. The above video includes links to the entire nearly 50-minute interview between these two.

Community, 1.10: "Environmental Science"

  • Señor Chang: Whaddaya want, Winger? Here to complain about the homework on behalf of the class?
  • Jeff: Can I ask you a personal question, Señor Chang?
  • Señor Chang: [chuckling] Okay, Freud. Sure. You try to penetrate my psychological armor, and you—
  • Jeff: Did your wife leave you?
  • Señor Chang: Holy—! How did you know?
  • Jeff: Well, when you pick juries, you learn to read the little stuff. Same shirt twice in one week; teaching us the word "esposa" means "liar"; the picture of you with a woman, with a Post-It note dialogue balloon above her head that says "Enjoy it while it lasts"...
