So that Scottish slyboots Craig Ferguson waggled his fingers in front of the camera last night and revealed he’d gotten married over the holidays. He wed his girlfriend Megan Wallace Cunningham, an art dealer. (He suggested we start referring to the couple by their celebrity-contraction, “Cragan.”)
“I know I said I’d never get married again but apparently I can’t even abide by my own rules,” said the twice-before-hitched Ferguson. Noting that his finger “went into toxic shock” upon the reapplication of a wedding ring, America’s favorite brogue-babbler promised a lot of take-my-wife-please jokes from now on.
If the yuks are as amusingly impertinent as the ones he made Monday (what did Megan have that the other wives didn’t?, he asked rhetorically: “a penis!” he crowed, cracking up at his risque silliness), we’re in for some fine opening-monologue tales of newly-married life. Throughout the evening, he seemed genuinely exhilarated, slipping in references to his new life with a giddiness that transcended foolishness: this was the sight of one happy fellow. And as a talk-show host unafraid to share the details of his life–Ferguson has in the past spoken movingly of the deaths of his parents and of his U.S. citizenship–you couldn’t help but watch last night and feel as though he was making you part of the wedding reception.
Congratulations, Craig. Long may your fingers, and everything else, wave.

Oy! That cheeky monkey went ahead and got married? Ha! I’m glad he’s happy. I hope he and his wife grow old together. Congratulations!
Love ya Craig! Congrats on your wedding. By the way Mr. Tucker, I enjoyed your interview when you were on the show. If the celebrities, authors, etc don’t show up on Craig’s show, then I don’t know what they are up to lately because his is the only one I watch.
Here’s hoping three’s the charm! Now will you please stay home and write another book?
Craig-your show was super last night! As a longtime fan I wish you nothing but the best. Too bad your show is on so late-the rest of the world doesn’t know what they’re missing. I’m waiting patiently for your new book. From a still adoring Cougar!! May all your dreams come true!
Congrats Cragan!! I knew someday a very lucky person would get ahold of you! I wish it could have been me, but at least I still have you in my bedroom at night on TV! Lots of good wishes to you both.
Married in a kilt in Vermont in a blizzard. His comedy just writes itself!
My heart is broken but I can still fantasize falling asleep to Craigie’s lovely brogue. He is without doubt the most intelligent, creative mind on T.V. He makes me laugh out loud, think, and cry sometimes.
love me craig and jealous of the wee lassie that captured his heart! much happiness to you both, i hope u found your claudette, now write us another book already!
After a twinge of sadness at this news I wish Craigen all the best. She must be a very special lady to have captured his heart!! He’s an exceptional man and I look forward to many more laughes from him!! We love you Craig
Best Wishes “CRAGEN”!!! Craig, your monologue last night was absolutely hilarious. I’ve been married 30 yrs. already, to the same man, I KNOW!!! But on the lighter side may you both be deliriously happy together. Snuggle up & be warm now you cheeky little monkeys!!!

Congratulations to you both, hopefully we’ll get to meet Megan.

I couldnt live with a man who is a heavy drinker. he is one.
Actually, Rose, though I could be wrong about this, I believe Craig stopped drinking some time ago. Anyway, congratulations and best wishes (though I must admit, I am jealous.)
Actually, this absolutely brilliantly clever and funny man has not had a DRINK in nearly TEN YEARS stupid Rosie Posie!

Wow! What a year. Becoming a U.S. citizen,getting your pilot’s license, proving to be the best late night host out there, doing great stand-up shows and then marring a total cutie. Congratulations! BTW Seeing your show at the
MGM with my girl was the highlight of my year. Thanks for always being honest to your audience.

Craig stopped drinking in 1992. Do the math!
I’m engaged but I was still hoping Craig would save himself for me……I just made myself laugh. Congrats!! Maybe Megan can join the Highlanders.
