Very Belated Alert: Craig Ferguson plays himself in "The Ugly Truth"

Talk Show News tries to keep up with everything going on in the world of late night chat, but sometimes a crucial tidbit just slips by unnoticed. The trailer made "The Ugly Truth" look like a really, really crummy movie. (The 15% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes solidified that impression.) However, there's at least one interesting thing about the hit romcom: Craig Ferguson plays himself, hosting one of the movie's characters (played by fellow Glaswegian Gerard Butler!) on his "Late Late Show."

Ferguson has a long way to go to catch up with cameo king Jay Leno, who has appeared as himself in about a zillion movies and TV shows, from "In & Out" and "Space Cowboys" to "EdTV" and "Juwanna Mann."

Watch a brief clip of Craig's appearance below.
