"Filmed at the Polk Theater in Nashville, Ferguson explains his love for 'friendly cussing' and the frustration he feels when he cannot use certain 'naughty' words on the 'The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson,'" Comedy Central said in a news release. "Ferguson explains what sex education was like growing up in Scotland, how celebrity scandals make for easy work days and how terrifying it was to meet '[James] Bond [film]-like' villain [former U.S. Vice President] Dick Cheney, while hosting the White House correspondents dinner."
