Craig Ferguson Interview

Craig Ferguson may be the king of late, late night, but he jumped at the chance to lend his famous Scottish brogue to the new animated film How to Train Your Dragon. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, the story centers around a Viking teenager named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who lives on an island where fighting dragons is a way of life. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is turned upside down, and what started out as Hiccup’s one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.

Ferguson plays a Viking warrior named Gobber who is intent on teaching the young hero how to fight dragons. Tribute‘s Bonnie Laufer had a chance to chat with the talk show host about voicing his first film, how years of drinking helped him prepare for his role as a Viking and which actors from the movie will be visiting him on his talk show couch!
