Since it&#8217;s a holiday weekend, we thought we&#8217;d dig back in the archives for some interesting items you may be seeing for the first time.\r\n\r\nBack in 2007, the Saint Petersburg Times did a long profile of Craig, talking about his path to the Late Late Show.\u00c2\u00a0 We recently stumbled across a reprint of the article in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seattlepi.com\/tv\/328309_ferguson21.html\" target=\"_blank\">Seattle Post-Intelligencer<\/a>&#8216;s website.\r\n\r\nThe online publication <a href=\"http:\/\/gothamist.com\/2007\/04\/09\/craig_ferguson.php\" target=\"_blank\">Gothamist<\/a> in New York City profiled Craig in 2007, digging deeper into his early years.\r\n\r\nHere&#8217;s a hidden gem.\u00c2\u00a0 The audio is a little rough but you&#8217;ll be able to enjoy Craig appearing on Late Night with Conan O&#8217;Brien in 2001 to promote the movie &#8220;Born Romantic&#8221;.
