Jake Kalish — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:12:00 GMT

The special, titled A Wee Bit O' Revolution, is March 22nd at 10 pm, and the DVD comes out March 24th.This should be excellent, and unusual - Ferguson isn't a standard set-up and joke comedian, but rather a storyteller, and a great one. When he's on, his monologues are equal parts profoundly funny and profoundly moving. Like this one...

Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin -- who's been in the news just a little bit lately -- appeared by satellite on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson more than a year ago, before most of the country knew much about her.
