Craig Ferguson will bring the intelligent, off-the-cuff wit that distinguished his decade hosting “The Late Late Show” to the Fillmore Miami Beach on Dec. 3, with tickets on sale 10 a.m. Friday, July 31.
Reserved-seat tickets are $59.50, $45 and $35 at the theater box office (1700 Washington Ave.), LiveNation.com and at . A LiveNation presale begins 10 a.m. Wednesday.
A Scottish-born U.S. citizen who greeted audiences at his CBS talk show with “It’s a great day for America, everybody!,” Ferguson was something of a cultish figure who worked in the shadows of David Letterman, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart.
His final appearance as host of “The Late Late Show” in December was an under-appreciated event (compared to the hype accorded his late-night brethren), a fate that seemed fitting for Ferguson’s show, a gloriously low-rent affair co-hosted by a pantomime horse and a skeleton robot named Geoff.
