Just an incredibly empassioned rant from newly minted U.S. citizen Craig Ferguson that actually got me out of bed to see if the video was up yet. It is.
There is another section after this at his desk where he rants a bit more and shows a voter registration form, explains what it takes to fill it out and says that everyone in his audience will receive one on their way out. He also chided us on the horrid percentage of citizens that turn out to "perform their duty".
Bravo.
From Wikipedia-
On the Tuesday, January 22, 2008, airing of The Late Late Show, Ferguson announced that he was scheduled to take his citizenship test in Los Angeles on Friday, January 25, 2008. The next Monday he announced that he received a perfect score, with footage of this shown as proof. Aware of the cameras, Ferguson gave tongue-in-cheek answers to some questions: for example, in response to a request to name the writer of The Star-Spangled Banner, he replied "Francis Scott Key... and Puff Daddy".
Ferguson became an American citizen on February 1, 2008.[22] Clips from his citizenship ceremony were aired the following week during Monday night's airing of The Late Late Show on February 4, 2008.
UPDATED- The second half of the rant.
