Craig Ferguson (CBS's "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson"), in his third consecutive year as host of the special, will travel directly from a week-long USO tour overseas with U.S. troops to Boston for the annual 4th of July event.
Craig is writing a book:
American On Purpose, an achingly funny account of living the American dream as he journeys from a small town in Scotland to the entertainment capital of the world. The book is scheduled for release in September 2009.
Craig gave a big thank you to the troops. Couple of snippets I caught
1st year not american 2nd year american 3rd year average american bbqing and hanging out with 1,000,000 friends.
"We Americans like to make a lot of noise and blow stuff up."
It is something I do respect about Ferguson, he is proud to be an American. What we dream of, and have to work harder than others to obtain, stays closer to our hearts. He has a passion for America that we could all use a dose of.
Craig is such a good American he even honored the passing of a great American inventor.
