It's a great day for America everybody!

You may know Craig Ferguson from his late night talk show or even from The Drew Carey Show, but what you don't know is that he is a very thoughtful and talented writer with a troubled past.

Before he became the host of The Late Late Show, Craig was a struggling punk rocker, actor and alcoholic who was trying to find his way in this crazy world.  His autobiography is full of details about his life and family growing up and struggling in Scotland, battling drugs and alcohol, his romantic relationships and 3 marriages, and about choosing to become an American citizen.

Having become a Ferguson fan after watching his late night show and finding his witty humor very funny, I appreciated getting to know more about him and his past.  He isn't just a funny guy anymore, but someone with a very interesting story and a great intelligence that you can only truly appreciate after reading his autobiography.
