After several months of prodding from fans, late night host Craig Ferguson — star of CBS’ Late Late Show — grudgingly joined the Twitterverse on Monday!

“Can I say fuck on this thing?” the Scottish-born funny guy Tweeted Monday evening — less than 12 hours after first signing on to the mircoblogging service.

Reformed Twitter hater Craig made the announcement about his new account on his show early Tuesday morning, and within just a few minutes, his followers had risen by 2,000. At press time, Craig’s up to more than 14,000 followers — with no signs of slowing down!
