Ferguson has also been open about his history of alcoholism and drug addiction, telling stories both in his comedy and on his talk shows about how he nearly destroyed his life. He's since become an advocate for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, and when Britney Spears had her drug fueled freak out in the late 2000's, Craig was one of the few late night comedy hosts who ''didn't'' make fun of her for it, citing his own similar struggles (though he's more than happy to make fun of his ''own'' drug fueled freak outs).
