captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- [cheers and applause] craig: hey, everybody! hey, look at you! come on in. hi, everybody. welcome. welcome to los angeles, california. welcome to "the late late show." i am your host, tv's craig ferguson. thank, everybody! shhh. quietly. ooh. settle. shhh. settle down. all right, everybody. settle down. sit down. quietly. quietly. that's right. stop your cheering, oh, yes. michael got very excited there because a lady from the audience blew me a kiss and i blue her a kiss. and he thought i was blowing him a kiss. he was like, oh, finally chris mace time. it's for for you, bitch.

it's for the lady sitting behind you and it's for you at home. that would be sexy, isn't it? it's a great day for america, everybody! [cheers and applause] it is. it's monday, of course. monday, december the 19th. it's the run-up -- december the 19th already? where the hell did the year go? no, it's december the 19th. christmas is coming. the goose is getting fat. sorry, the goose is getting overweight. morbidly o bees. -- obese. [laughter] did you see "the -- the

"sherlock holmes" movie. i've heard it's the best movie ever. i was actually up for a part in the "sherlock holmes." not the movie. in the west alameda community theater. i was this close to getting it. damn you, erik estrada. [laughter] "sherlock holmes" has been around for a while. the original books came out in the 1800's. did you know that he never actually said, "elementary my dear watson." he did say, oh, please senor ding-a-ling. let's solve crimes! robert downey jr. plays sherlock holmes. he's much sexier than the sherlock homes i remember growing up.

do question -- we have a picture? show me that again. take that picture to my office. i'm kidding. i don't have an office. [laughter] can we see the picture of the sherlock holmes i grew up watching? look at the size of that ball. look at that. [laughter] what i'm going to do is i'm going to stand next to this globe to imply i've got massive testicles. but to me that's what sherlock holmes is supposed to look like. do we have one of his sexy pictures? yeah, see. [laughter] the pipe's a classy touch. old-timey sherlock holmes always smoked a pipe. he didn't just smoke a pipe, he was also a cocaine addict. that's true in the novels he was like --

[laughter] he's like -- i could solve this. [laughter] he's like oh, please senor ding-a-ling. why would you cast robert downey jr.? >> no, i like -- i like robert downey jr. i like him. he's been through a lot. and i like that he's hope about his troubles. but i'll tell you this -- you cannot solve crimes when you're on cocaine. my own research has proved that you can't. you can however, commit crimes. take that, statute of limitations. oh, please, senor ding-a-ling. some people are upset that sherlock holmes is played with robert downey. we put up with an english batman

and superman. we're the ones that should complain for these english people taking over our jobs! are you having a hard time with this, dude? hey, wait a minute. [laughter] robert downey jr. is a natural for this role because in the movie "iron man" he was a crime fighter, with a beautiful assistant played by gwyneth paltrow. and in "sherlock holmes" he's a crime fighter with a beautiful assistant with jude law. jude law is sherlock's special friend. you know? you know, dr. watson, his long time companion, you know that man who stuff's his pipes? are you insinuating that gray and holmes are gay? no, shut up! they're just like better -- bert

and ernie -- all right that's a bad example. do we have a picture of jude law? there it is. [laughter] that's nice. let me see that again. yeah. ♪ i can feel it in the air tonight ♪ [laughter] it couldn't have been easy for detectives back in the days of sherlock holmes because the c.s.i. black light hadn't been detected if sherlock holmes would have to identify a stain, he would have to, you know, he would have to smell it. watson, i do believe this is ass.

the motion picture, puss and boots. that's antonio. craig: that's antonio banderas. are you like the jacksons? did you perform? geoff: by that do you mean unemployed, looking for jobs? do you mean trying to ring -- wring every penny out of the famous one? yes. craig: that's probably enough! i don't want to know everything about your family. geoff: we are exactly like that, craig. craig: ok. do you read the "sherlock holmes." geoff: i do. i do. when i read it, it give mess a rath boner. craig: is that acceptable on the cbs network?
