Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Comedian and author Craig Ferguson is getting his own daily program on SiriusXM.

Set to debut Feb. 27, The Craig Ferguson Show will broadcast live from Los Angeles.


"This is premium, quality, drive-time entertainment. It's like Game of Thrones in your car without pictures. Also, given recent events on earth, I wanted to return to a daily show without the restriction of wearing pants or shaving [anywhere]," Ferguson said in a statement. "I look forward to working in an environment that has zero censorship and zero network interference. The melon-farmers at SiriusXM told me to say that."

"Craig Ferguson is a great broadcasting talent with a singular style, and we are thrilled that he is bringing his wit and talents to SiriusXM," added Scott Greenstein, president and chief content officer for SiriusXM. "Throughout his impressive, award-winning career, Craig's irreverent charm has won over millions of Americans, while proving himself a true original. Now with his daily show on SiriusXM, Craig will deliver a completely original comedy show to our national audience, a commitment from a triple-threat talent that we are very excited to launch."

The funny man is known for hosting The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson for 10 years, as well as for playing a recurring role on the sitcom The Drew Carey Show for seven seasons. His other small-screen credits include Celebrity Name Game and Join or Die.
