Heads up: Craig does Dixie
By Wade Kwon
TV’s Craig Ferguson spent the weekend with us in Alabama, performing a funny two-night stint at the Comedy Club at the Stardome in Hoover. Monday night, he shared his experiences in the “Late Late Show” monologue, trolling Homewood for Philly cheesesteaks and taking in that Southern hospitality.
“Alabama is America’s most misunderstood state.”
“I walked into Salem’s Diner, and it’s like, ‘Hey, it’s the guy from TV.’ I was very flattered. A couple of minutes later, a guy comes in, and they go, ‘Hey, it’s the guy from the hardware store.’ “
(It’s about a third of the way in the 10-minute clip, around the 3:30 mark.)
Thanks to our reader Dave for the tip.
