Craig Ferguson's new set

The guy who gave Jay Leno his spiffy comedy-club look designed this one, unveiling tonight.

Tonight, THE LATE LATE SHOW with CRAIG FERGUSON will unveil its new set designed by award-winning production designer Leo Akira Yoshimura. Previously, he has designed sets for "Saturday Night Live," "Access Hollywood" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

 

Designer Yoshimura said, "Where else would a Scottish comedian and a Japanese designer find a place to work together...but at CBS Television City in Los Angeles. I'm trying my best not to embarrass myself."

 

Craig Ferguson's new home resembles an authentic "old Hollywood" downtown Los Angeles loft with a panoramic view of the city.  All of the walls in the studio have been painted with the city of Los   Angeles as a backdrop, so that audience members will feel as if they are part of Craig's world.

 

Through the "windows" behind Craig's new desk, the viewers will see an extraordinary view of the city featuring some of Los Angeles' most iconic landmarks, from Graumann's Chinese Theater to the Santa Monica Ferris Wheel to Pink's Hot Dogs to the Farmer's Market clock, which will keep actual time.

 

Another highlight will be a blimp and a 747 jet, created by the sound effects team, which will be controlled by Craig and will glide across the sky at his whim.
