D.L. Hughley Jokes About 'Late Late's' Little Person (VIDEO)

Before D.L. Hughley joined Craig Ferguson on the stage of 'The Late Late Show' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS), the show's resident little person appeared in a sketch dressed as a leprechaun.

"This audience here is anti-Irish," the host joked. "They hate the leprechaun. How could you hate a leprechaun? They're adorable!"

"I saw him back there," commented Hughley. "Must be hell when you can't ride nothin' at Six Flags ... When you got your whole picture on your driver's license, that's got to be hell."

The studio audience laughed. Ferguson chuckled uncomfortably and said, "There's no need for that," and attempted to change the subject.

The "leprechaun" seemed to take it in stride, peering out from backstage and pretending to be mad. "There goes my luck for the rest of the day," quipped Ferguson.
