Craig  was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 17 May 1962, but his family moved to Cumbernauld from Glasgow as their hometown still suffered from damage following World War II. He attended Cumbernauld High School, but at the age of 16 he left school to begin working as an apprentice for an electronics technician, so that he could then work for a local factory of the company Burroughs Corporation. He gained his first experience in the entertainment industry as a drummer for the rock band Exposure, andjoined several other bands that performed locally. It was during this period that he was inspired to try his hand at comedy.

One of his first comedy acts was a character who was a parody of the uber patriotic native folk singers in Scotland. The character became a hit during the 1986 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and led to his television debut. He did a one-off comedy pilot for “The Craig Ferguson Show” before pitching more programming to local networks, and becoming the host of the show “Dirt Detective”, in which he travelled Scotland to examine its archeological history. He also found a bit of interest in musical theatre, and performed in a production of “The Rocky Horror Show”, and in “Bad Boy Johnny and the Prophets of Doom”.

Later Career – Craig Ferguson

Sometime in the 1990s, Ferguson moved to the US, and got his breakthrough when he was cast in “The Drew Carey Show”, playing the title character’s boss, but spent a lot of his free time working as a writer. More film work came his way including “How to Train Your Dragon”, “Kick-Ass”, and “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events”.

Personal Life and Social Media

For her personal life, it is known that Cunningham married Craig Ferguson in 2008 in a private ceremony held at her family’s farm. They have a child together born three years later. According to several sources, the two met in 2005 and began dating from then. She is his third wife – he was previously married to graphic designer Anne Hogarth, and actress Sascha Ferguson.

One of the reasons there is very little information about Megan is due to the lack of any presence online. She does not have any social media profiles, and prefers to keep her life away from the spotlight. Her husband has respected this in that he doesn’t talk a lot about their marriage or their family. On the other hand, he’s very active online due to the nature of his work. He has close to three million followers on the website Twitter, on which he promotes his latest work. He has recently been on tour to promote the release of his latest book, and has also done an audiobook version of his creation. He uses the platform to promote his advocacies too.
