Craig Ferguson, Grammy nominee

The 53rd annual Grammy nominations were announced last night, and Craig Ferguson was nominated in the best spoken word category:

Craig Ferguson thought his Grammy nomination was a joke at first. Ferguson got the news from LL Cool J, who was hosting the Grammy nominations special and Ferguson kept asking him if he was kidding. When he realized he really was a nominee and he was competing for best spoken word against Carol Burnett, Woody Allen, Michael J. Fox, Sarah Silverman and Jon Stewart, Ferguson declared himself "the crappiest person" in the race. [Larry Riggs]
