World Television Premiere Thursday, September 10, at 10pm
ET/PT, 9C. The stand-up special airs during the EPIX Free Preview

Craig Ferguson’s new special Just Being Honest captures
a comedic genius at the peak of his powers. He delivers an
unrestrained and brilliant performance covering the deeply meaningless
to the profoundly meaningful. From the pros and cons of catch phrases,
shoes that look like feet, and the Scottish version of hacky sack, as
well as religion, aging, and sex, drugs and rock and roll – including
his own delightfully weird experiences with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
and Kenny G. The hour-long special was filmed in a packed to the rafters
Town Hall in New York City.
Craig Ferguson said: "I think it’s important to be honest in a comedy
special, but, then again, I’m a 30 year old comic who weighs 170 lbs.
and is not sexually aroused by the smell of damp wool, so what do I
know?"
