US TV talk show left in the dark


US talk show host Craig Ferguson was forced to use a torch when a power cut hit a recording of his TV programme.
The presenter was interviewing Hollywood actress Alicia Silverstone on The Late Late Show when the studio lights dimmed.
Producers decided to keep the cameras rolling and handed Ferguson a torch to illuminate proceedings.
High winds were blamed for the power cut at the CBS studios in Los Angeles and in other parts of the city.
Scottish-born presenter Craig Ferguson has hosted the show, which is screened after The David Letterman Show on CBS, since 2005.
His programme, which is a mix of guests and his own improvised monologues, goes head-to-head with Jimmy Fallon's talk show on NBC.
Ferguson, who moved to the US in 1994, had his own short-lived comedy show on ITV and was a fixture on the alternative comedy circuit during the 1980s.
In the US he became famous for playing Mr Wick in The Drew Carey Show.
