Craig Ferguson knows a thing or two about strikes. The comedian hosted CBS’ The Late Late Show during the 2007/2008 writers strike.
As a member of the WGA, SAG-AFTRA and the DGA, the Scot has urged the studios to “make a fucking deal”.
“I support the strike wholeheartedly,” he told Deadline. “You have one job as a producer and that’s to make a fucking deal. That’s really the whole ethos of being a producer and they’re not making a deal, and I can’t understand that. Any good producer finds a way to make a deal that everyone walks away feeling kind of good about so I can’t imagine why an association of producers can’t get together with a bunch of people who want to work and say, ‘All right, we have to find a deal’.”
Ferguson has now entered the podcast business, striking a deal with iHeart to host Joy, A Podcast. It launched in July and the first two episodes featuring Grabiel Iglesias and Kathie Lee Gifford have now aired. Ferguson told Deadline that it’s about how people cope, how they see their way out of the darkness and how they shake off their demons.
Of the current writers and actors strike, he added, that it feels different to 2007/08. “If I think back, it was not about a seismic change in the industry. It was about unfairness. Strikes are always about unfairness, but I think that this one is about a real change. There’s a real shift, it’s like sound coming to the movies. It’s a big deal,” he said.
He empathizes with the current crop of the late-night hosts like Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers.
During the 2007/08 writers strike, the late-night shows returned two months into the walkout. On December 28, 2007, David Letterman, whose production company Worldwide Pants ran The Late Show

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Rome’s Cinecittà Studios are in the midst of a radical overhaul that started in June 2021, when the government-owned facilities, headed by Nicola Maccanico — who is a former Warner Bros. and Sky Italia senior exec — secured a multi-million dollar loan provided by the European Union’s post-pandemic recovery fund to upgrade and expand the studios. Productions that recently set up camp on its iconic backlot, lured in part by Italy’s generous 40% cash-back tax credit, include Roland Emmerich’s gladiator series “Those About to Die,” which is currently shooting, and Luca Guadagnino’s recently wrapped William Burroughs adaptation “Queer” starring Daniel Craig.
