Ferguson announced in 2014 that he was going to produce a series based of the ''I F**king Love Science'' blog, curated by Elise Andrew, for the Science Channel, but as of 2016, that has yet to materialize.

He has a passion for history and science, he is a big fan of the Series/MythBusters (Grant Imahara built him a robot skeleton sidekick, in gratitude for helping him expand his Twitter fanbase), and was also the 2010 host of ''Shark Week'' for the Creator/DiscoveryChannel. [[OneOfUs He's also a bit of a]] ''Series/DoctorWho'' fan, and a toy TARDIS was prominently displayed on his late-night show's desk for several years - coincidentally, he is also a lifelong friend (and former bandmate of) the Twelfth Doctor, Creator/PeterCapaldi. He shares great chemistry with Creator/KristenBell, so much to the point where she made so many appearances on his show that she openly lobbied to become co-host, although this never came to be. (In later appearances, she created a false rivalry with Geoff Petersen, the robot built by Imahara.) He also hosted the Boston Pops' Fourth of July show from 2009 to 2012, and on AprilFoolsDay 2014 he swapped places with his friend and former costar Drew Carey to host ''Series/ThePriceIsRight''. He ended his tenure as ''Late Late Show'' host on December 19th, 2014.
