#10. This year for his birthday, @CraigyFerg celebrates by eating a newborn deer heart. Come to think of it, just like every morning. #BeautyTips

#9. Running isn’t just a way of life for Craig Ferguson, it’s a religion. Just not his. He only believes in the higher power of Jelly Babies.

#8. The first time Craig Ferguson “dressed for success” was in 1982. It was also the first time he “undressed for success”. Both, unsuccessful.

#7. Craig Ferguson learned to drive just like a lot of otherScottish citizens – the amusement park at the bumper cars. #ParallelParkingKing

#6. 3 times Craig Ferguson has been mistaken for Doctor Who. Once at Comicon, and the other two times at work. #AtTheStripClub

#5. In the late 90s, Craig Ferguson’s hair sued over some inappropriate touching. It’s still ongoing, but they settled out of court.

#4. When he was young, Craig Ferguson wanted to be a spy for the Queen. To the chagrin of the Crown, he settled for spying ON the Queen.

#3. Craig Ferguson hates standard late night jokes. To date, he only allowed 3 accidental jokes – or he forgot to wear pants. One of the two.

#2. Craig Ferguson’s 2nd love is a Scottish Dumpling. His 1st love is just as delicious: Catholic guilt. #ScottishDumplingAlsoHisStripperName

#1. The most important thing to remember about Craig Ferguson: eunuch. “Tango & Cash” are over the fireplace at the LLS. Look close, you’ll see.

Happy birthday, Craigy.
