Possibly, but isn't that demo the one they're trying to get away from; that they want the younger viewer? Granted, there's nothing hip or kewl about Ferguson (that I see, anyway) that would attract the drunken frat boy (for lack of a better term), though maybe there's some kind of "Adult Swim" aura to him. Personally, I like Ferguson and his panels (I hesitate to call them interviews), but can't stand the first 35-40 minutes of the show and the prepared material; though I admit that's a) what sets him apart, and b) very popular with a lot of folks here and on the AFL. --Dave Sikula
